On Top of Old Smoky

On top of Old Smokey
All covered with snow
I lost my true lover
For courtin’ too slow
For courtin’s a pleasure
And parting is grief
And a false-hearted lover
Is worse than a thief
For a thief will just rob you
And take all your pay
But a false-hearted lover
Will lead you astray
On top of Old Smokey
All covered with snow
I lost my true lover
For courtin’ too slow

Yankee Doodle

Yankee Doodle went to town
A-riding on a pony
Stuck a feather in his hat
And called it macaroni
Chorus:
Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle Dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy
Father and I went down to camp
Along with Captain Goodwin
There were the men and boys
As thick as hasty puddin’
Chorus
And there was Captain Washington
Upon a slapping stallion
Giving orders to his men
I guess there were a million
Chorus
"Yankee Doodle" is a tune
That comes in mighty handy
The enemy all runs away
At "Yankee Doodle Dandy"
Chorus
