(A.P. Carter)

I'll deck my brow with roses
My loved one may be there
And gems that others gave me
I'll wear within my hair.

And even them that know me
Will say my heart is light
Though my heart may break tomorrow
I'll be all smiles tonight.

I'll be all smiles tonight love
I'll be all smiles tonight
Though my heart may break tomorrow
I'll be all smiles tonight.

And when the dance is over
And all have gone to rest
I'll think of him dear mother
The one that I love best.

He once did love believe me
But now has grown cold and strange
He sought not to deceive me
False friends have brought this change.

I'll be all smiles tonight love
I'll be all smiles tonight
Though my heart may break tomorrow
I'll be all smiles tonight...
