Maple On The Hill Lyrics - Hank Locklin

Here upon the quiet country village stood the maple on the hill 

There I sat with my Jeannie of long ago 

When the stars were shining brightly we could hear the whippoorwill 

As we sat beneath the maple on the hill 

We would sing love songs together when the birds had gone to rest 

And we'd listened to the murmur of the leaves 

Then you throwed your arms around me laid your head upon my chest 

As we sat beneath the maple on the hill 

[ piano ] 

Now we're getting old and feeble and our hair is turning grey 

We no longer hear the rippling of the leaves 

Still I always love you darling as I did those stary nights 

When we sat beneath the maple on the hill 

Don't forget me little darling as they lay me down to rest 

Will you keep this final promise that you gave 

While you linger there in silence thinking only of the past 

May your teardrops kiss the flowers on my grave
