On Top Of Old Smokie-crd Traditional
# Subject: On Top of Old Smokie As far as I know, this song is anonymously written. Or to be more precise, it is very old and I have no clue who wrote it. Hank Williams did this on a Mother's Best Show and he mentions how his grandmother used to sing it to him when he was little. Well, my grandma sang it to me as well but used a little bit different wording than Hank. I, however, will send Hank's lyrics in the key I do it in. I hope someone finds this interesting and if you know it and I have done something wrong in chord placement then just email Greg and put yours in as well.
