《On Top of Old Smoky》歌词

[00:00:00] On Top of Old Smoky - Pete Seeger

[00:00:00] Written by：Pete Seeger

[00:00:00] On top of old smokey all covered with snow

[00:00:07] I lost my true lover for courting so slow

[00:00:14] For courting's a pleasure but parting's a grief

[00:00:21] And a false hearted lover is worse than a thief

[00:00:28] So a thief will just rob you

[00:00:33] And take what you have

[00:00:36] But a false hearted lover will lead you to the grave

[00:00:45] The grave will decay you and turn you to dust

[00:00:53] Not one boy in a hundred a poor girl can trust

[00:01:03] They'll hug you and kiss you and tell you more lies

[00:01:11] Than cross lines on a railroad or stars in the skies

[00:01:20] So come all your young maidens and listen to me

[00:01:28] Never place your affections on a green willow tree

[00:01:36] For the leaves they will wither

[00:01:41] And the roots they will die

[00:01:45] You'll all be forsaken and never know why

[00:01:54] On top of old smokey all covered with snow

[00:02:03] I lost my true lover for courting so slow
