10. On top of Old Smokey All covered with snow, I lost my true lover For courting too slow. Now, courting is a pleasure And 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 the grave. And the grave will decay you And turn you to dust; Not one girl in a hundred A poor boy can trust. They'll hug you and kiss you And tell you more lies Than the crossties on the railroad Or stars in the sky. So, come all you young maidens And listen to me, Never place your affection On a green willow tree. For the leaves they will wither, And the roots they will die, You'll all be forsaken And never know why. On top of Old Smokey All covered with snow, I lost my true lover For courting too slow. This song represents the heartbreaks involved in human relationships and how the folks in the Smoky Mountains dealt with those heartbreaks.

12. https://penzu.com/p A Day of Camping in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park: Today we arrived at the campground at 8:00 am. We chose a campsite and began to put the tents together and unload the car. We then gathered firewood and sticks for our smores’ we would be making later. I then hung up our hammock and tested it out so if someone sat in it, it wouldn’t fall to the ground. It was a success. Our group then decided to take a bike ride around Cades Cove loop and explored all the different pit stops throughout the loop. I took photographs of various sites along the loop as well, including, wildlife, cabins, landscapes, the mill, etc. We then stopped to pick and eat wild blueberries. When we arrived back to the campsite, we decided to start stacking the firewood and begin cooking dinner. After eating a delicious plate of hamburgers and snacks we laid around the campfire and relaxed. Everyone was talking and telling funny stories of how their week went and after a while we decided to cook desert, the best part of camping, smores’! After eating and chatting, everyone was full and ready for bed. Next thing I knew I was waking up to a new day listening to the creek flowing and hearing everyone else waking up. It was a great camping trip and I can’t wait to go again soon!

14. If you are exposed to poison ivy clean your skin immediately with soap and water. Use Lye soap if possible. Avoid scratching. Wash clothes and anything else that may have come in contact with the poison ivy. Take a cool bath/shower by hopping into the creek. After cooling off, air dry because it will reduce the itching of the poison ivy.
