Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A]On top of old [G]Smoky,
[A]all[G] covered with s[D]now,
I lost [A]my true lover for a
courtin' [D]too slow.
Pardon's a [G]pleasure, [D]pardon is greed
And a false [A]-hearted lover
is [G]worse [D]than a thief
Thief, he will [G]rob you, take what [D]you have
But a false -hearted [A]lover
will lead you to
The [D]grave, the grave will de[G]cay
You'll turn yet [D]to dust
Not one [A]guy in a hundred
A poor girl [D]can trust
He'll hug you, he'll [G]kiss you,
he'll tell you more [D]lies
Than cross [A]-tides on a red roof
or the stars [D]in the sky
So come on [G]here lady, listen to [D]me
They never place your af
[A]fection on a green
[D]In a willow tree
The leaves they [G]will wither
Soon [D]they will die
Your true love will [A]leave you
And you'll never know [D]why
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
[G][D]
