On Top Of Old Smoky Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]On [G]top[C] of[F] ol[G]d S[C]moky,[F]
on top of the snow
[C]I lost my tru[G]e lover
by courting too slow
[C]Now courting's a p[F]leasure
and partings [C]are free
But Paul's heart [G]and love for her
is worse than a [C]thief
A thief will [F]but rob you
and take what [C]you say
The false hearted [G]lover
will send you to [C]the grave
The grave will [F]de cay you
and turn you [C]to dust
Not one girl [G]in a hundred
that a poor boy [C]can trust [F]...[C]
[G][C][Gm][Bb][F][C]
[G][C][G]
[C]Go hitch up [F]your horses
And feed them [C]some hay
Come sit down [G]beside me
As long as [C]you stay
My horses ain't [F]hungry
They won't eat [C]your hay
So fare you [G]well darling
I'll be on [C]my way
On top of [F]old Smoky, all covered [C]with snow
I lost my [G]true lover,
by pouring too slow
[C][C]
