harry belafonte - on top of old smokey lyrics

Loading...

on top of old smokey
all covered with snow
i lost my true lover
for a courting to slow

yes courting’s a pleasure
and parting is grief
and a false hearted lover
is worse than a thief

she’ll kiss you, she’ll hug you
and tell you more lies
than the cross ties on a railroad
or the stars in the sky

let me tell you ’bout my baby
she’s like bad brandy wine
the first time i kissed her
she drove me out my mind

she’s a baltimore special
got a fine brown frame
when you see her in motion
evil woman is her name

did i tell you ’bout the eastman
lord what a shame
he run off with my baby
and scandalized my name

well i went up on a mountain top
to call my baby back
she was gone with that eastman
down that lonesome railroad track

if i ever see that eastman
i’ll shoot him with my gun
i’ll cut him with my long jones
and dare that pimp to run

little liza, little liza
i couldn’t sleep last night
come on back home baby
everything will be all right

let me tell you, let me tell you
i don’t care what you say
if my woman ever comes back
i’ll give my life away

if you ever see a dark cloud
a-rollin’ in the sky
it’s my woman gone to heaven
with a tear drop in her eye

on top of old smokey
all covered with snow
i lost my true lover
for a-courting to slow
