old smokey - greg brown lyrics

Loading...

on top of old smokey,
all covered with snow,
i lost my true lover,
for courting too slow.

for courting’s a pleasure,
but parting is grief,
and a false-hearted lover,
is worse than a thief.

a thief will just rob you,
and take what you have,
but a false-hearted lover,
will lead you to your grave.

the grave will decay you,
and turn you to dust,
not one boy in a hundred
a poor girl can trust.

they’ll hug you and kiss you,
and tell you more lies,
than crossties on a railroad,
or stars in the sky.

so come ye young maidens,
and listen to me,
never place your affection
in a green willow tree.

for the leaves they will wither,
the roots they will die,
and you’ll be forsaken,
and never know why.
