On Top of Old Smokie
On top of old smokie all covered with snow
I lost my true lover from courting too slow
For courting's a pleasure but pouting brings grief
A false hearted lover is worse than a thief
A thief they will rob you and take all you see
A false hearted lover will drive you to your grave
And the grave will enclose you and turn you to dust
Not a man in a million can a pretty girl trust
They swear that they love you then tell you more lies
Than cross ties on the railroad or stars in the skies
Come all you young maidens and listen to me
Don't place your affection underneath and evergreen tree
The leaves they will wither and the roots will all die
And you'll be forsaken and never know why

Superb blog post, I have book marked this internet site so ideally I’ll see much more on this subject in the foreseeable future!
ReplyDeleteMy partner and I really enjoyed reading this blog post, I was just itching to know do you trade featured posts? I am always trying to find someone to make trades with and merely thought I would ask.
