On Top of Old Smokey || Lirik Lagu


On top of old Smokey, all covered with snow
I lost my true lover from courting too slow

Now, courting is pleasure and parting is grief
And a false-hearted lover is worse than a thief

For a thief will just rob you and take what you have
But a false-hearted lover will lead you to the grave

And the grave will decay you and turn you to dust
Not one boy in a hundred a poor girl can trust

They'll hug you and kiss you and tell you more lies
Than cross ties on a railroad or stars in the skies

So, come all you young maidens and listen to me
Never place your affection on a green willow tree

For the leaves they will whither, and the roots they will die
You'll all be forsaken and never know why..

Iseng saja, blusukan di file-file komputer milik ESAC FS UM
MP3  ->  Traditional Song  ->  On Top Of Old Smokey
Rasanya  akrab di telinga. Apakah aku benar-benar pernah mendengarnya?

Entahlah.
Hanya saja ketika mendengar lirik lagu ini, aku terbawa suasana
Walaupun sejujurnya aku belum tahu apa makna lagu ini..
Kedengarannya sama bluis-nya dengan lagu ini
Can anybody tell me some words?
