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.
