4 = blow hole 4-4 = draw hole 4’ = bend
On top of old Smo - key, all cov - ered with snow
I lost my true lov-er, from court-ing too slow.
Now court-ing is pleas-ure, and part-ing is grief,
And a false heart-ed lov-er is worse than a thief.
A thief will just rob you, and take what you have
A false heart-ed lov-er will lead you to the grave
The grave will de-cay you, and turn you to dust
Not one boy in a hun-dred a poor girl can trust
They hug you and kiss you, and tell you more lies
Than cross-ties on the rail-road, or stars in the sky
So come all young maid-ens, and list-en to me
Ne-ver place your af-fect-ions on a green will-ow tree
The leaves they will whit-her, the roots they will die
You'll all be for-sa-ken, and nev-er know why.
