[D] [A] [E7] [A]

[A]On top of Old [D]Smoky
All covered with [A]snow
I lost my true [E7]lover
Acourtin too [A]slow

Acourtin's a [D]pleasure
Apartin is [A]grief
A false hearted [E7]lover
Is worse than a [A]thief

A thief he will [D]rob you
And take what you[A] have
But a false hearted [E7]lover
Sends you to your [A]grave

They'll hug you and [D]kiss you
And tell you more [A]lies
Than the leaves on a [E7]willow
Or the stars in the [A]skies

My sad heart is [D]aching
I'm weary [A]today
My lover has [E7]left me
I'm afeelin this [A]way

It's rainin it's [D]pourin
The moon gives [A]no light
My horse he won't [E7]travel
This dark lonesome [A]night

I'm goin a[D]way dear
I'll write you my [A]mind
My mind is to [E7]marry
And to leave you be[A]hind

Come all you young [D]people
And listen to [A]me
Don't place your [E7]affection
On a green willow [A]tree

The leaves they will [D]wither
The roots they will [A]die
You will be [E7]forsaken
And never know [A]why

[A]On top of Old [D]Smoky
All covered with [A]snow
I lost my true [E7]lover
Acourtin too [A]slow
