I’m pretty sure the real lyrics were “on top of old smokey all covered with snow” but I don’t remember anything after that because we always sang the spaghetti version haha

Edit: Oh here it is, thanks Google:

On top of old Smokey, All covered with snow, I lost my true lover From courtin’ too slow.

From courtin’ too slow, dear, From courtin’ too slow, I lost my true lover From courtin’ too slow. On top of old Smokey, I went for to weep, For a false-hearted lover Is worse than a thief.

Is worse than a thief, dear, Is worse than a thief, For a false-hearted lover Is worse than a thief. For a thief, he will rob you, Of all that you have, But a false-hearted lover Will send you to your grave.

Will send you to your grave, dear, Will send you to your grave, But a false-hearted lover Will send you to your grave. He’ll hug you and kiss you, And tell you more lies, Than the ties of the railroad Or the stars in the skies.

The stars in the skies, dear, The stars in the skies, He’ll tell you more lies, dear, than the stars in the skies.

Oh I just sang it and it is heartbreaking and making me pensive
