Melody Maker Key of “G”

**bend down 2 steps from “G” to “F”


1 1 2 -2 4 3 3 -2**-2 3 -2

On top of Old Smo key, all cov ered with snow,


1 1 2 -2 -2 -1 2 -2** 2 -1 1

I lost my true lover,for court in’ too slow.


1 1 2 -2 4 3 3 -2** -2 3 -2

For cour tin’s a plea sure,but part in’ is grief,


1 1 2 -2 -2 -1 2 -2** 2 -1 1

A false-hearted lov er, is worse than a thief.


A thief will just rob you, and take what you have,

But a false-hearted lover, will lead you to your grave.


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 sky.


So come ye young maidens, and listen to me,

Never place your affection in a green willow tree.


For the leaves they will wither, the roots they will die,

And you’ll be forsaken, and never know why.
