[00:00.00]On Top of Old Smoky - Pete Seeger
[00:00.27]Written by：Pete Seeger
[00:00.54]On top of old smokey all covered with snow
[00:07.41]I lost my true lover for courting so slow
[00:14.81]For courting's a pleasure but parting's a grief
[00:21.64]And a false hearted lover is worse than a thief
[00:28.64]So a thief will just rob you
[00:33.08]And take what you have
[00:36.32]But a false hearted lover will lead you to the grave
[00:45.41]The grave will decay you and turn you to dust
[00:53.21]Not one boy in a hundred a poor girl can trust
[01:03.40]They'll hug you and kiss you and tell you more lies
[01:11.03]Than cross lines on a railroad or stars in the skies
[01:20.10]So come all your young maidens and listen to me
[01:28.21]Never place your affections on a green willow tree
[01:36.24]For the leaves they will wither
[01:41.12]And the roots they will die
[01:45.98]You'll all be forsaken and never know why
[01:54.70]On top of old smokey all covered with snow
[02:03.07]I lost my true lover for courting so slow
