On Top Of Old Smokey

On top of old smokey
All covered with snow
I lost my true lover
By courtin' so slow
For courting`s a pleasure
(For courting`s a pleasure)
But parting is grief
(But parting is grief)
And a false-hearted lover
(And a false-hearted lover)
Is worse than a thief
(Is worse than a thief)
A thief will just rob you
(A thief will just rob you)
And take what you have
(And take what you have)
But a false hearted lover
(But a false hearted lover)
Will lead you to the grave
(Will lead you to the grave)
And the grave will decay you
(And the grave will decay you)
Turn you to dust
(And turn you to dust)
Not one boy in a hundred
(Not one boy in a hundred)
A poor girl can trust
(A poor girl can trust)
How True
They hug you and kiss you
(They hug you and kiss you)
Tell you more lies
(And tell you more lies)
Then cross-ties on the railroad
(then cross-ties on a railroad)
Or stars in the sky
(Or stars in the sky)

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

So come all you young maidens
(come all you young maidens)
And listen to me
(and listen to me)
Never place your affections
(never place your affections)
On a green willow tree
(on a green willow tree)
For the leaves they will whither
(for the leaves they will whither)
The roots will die
(the roots will die)
You'll all be forsaken
(you'll all be forsaken)
And never know why
(and never know why)

Pick of the Week

Title:Cindy, Oh Cindy
Artist: Vince Martin and The Tarriers - Contributor:Webmaster

Cindy, oh Cindy
Cindy don't let me down
Write me a letter soon
And I'll be homeward bound

I joined the Navy to see the world
But nowhere could I find
A girl as sweet as Cindy
The girl I left behind
I've sailed the wide world over
Can't get her out of my mind

Cindy, oh Cindy
Cindy don't let me down
Write me a letter soon
And I'll be homeward bound

I see her face in every wave
Her lips kiss every breeze
Her lovin' arms reach out to me
Through calm and stormy sea
At night I face the lonely deck
Caressed by memories

Cindy, oh Cindy
Cindy don't let me down
Write me a letter soon
And I'll be homeward bound

I know my Cindy's waiting
As I walk the deck alone
Her lovin' arms reach out to me
Soon I'll be heading home
Then my sailin' days will be over
And no more will I roam

Cindy, oh Cindy
Cindy don't let me down
Write me a letter soon
And I'll be homeward bound
