Peggy Lee & The Fontane Sisters - On Top of Old Smokey - Rare 1951 TV performance

Peggy Lee joins The Fontane Sisters (Bea, Geri and Marge Rosse) for a rendition of the folk classic “On Top of Old Smokey” on TV’s Top Tunes, originally broadcast in 1951. In the early 1950s Peggy Lee and Mel Tormé co-hosted “TV’s Top Tunes,” a thrice-weekly program featuring a variety of musical performances. Lyrics On top of Old Smokey, all covered with snow I lost my true lover for courting so slow For courting’s a pleasure, but parting is grief And a false-hearted lover 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 you 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 On top of Old Smokey, all covered with snow I lost my true lover for courting so slow #PeggyLee #FontaneSisters #VintageTV #RareFootage #FolkMusic #TVsTopTunes #ClassicTV
