«On Top of Old Smoky» — американская народная песня, возникшая предположительно в Аппалачи и получившая статус фолк-стандарта вскоре после того, как 21 февраля 1951 года его — в аранжировке Пита Сигера — записали The Weavers. Сингл «On Top of Old Smoky», выпущенный Decca Records (каталоговый номер — 27515), поднялся до #2 в Billboard Charts и дважды возглавлял списки бестселлеров журнала Cash Box, разойдясь более чем миллионным тиражом.
В 1953 году вышел фильм-вестерн того же названия с «поющим ковбоем» Джином Отри в главной роли.
