Maple On The Hill Lyrics - The Stanley Brothers

In a quiet country village stood a maple on the hill 

Where I sat with my Geneva long ago 

As 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 

We would listen to the murmur o'er the hill 

Will you love me, little darling as you did those starry nights 

As we sat beneath the maple on the hill 

Don't forget me, little darling when they lay me down to die 

Just one little wish, my darling, that I pray 

As you linger there in sadness thinking darling of the past 

Let your teardrops kiss the flowers on my grave 

I will soon be with the angels on that bright and peaceful shore 

Even now I hear them coming o'er the hill 

So goodbye, my little darling It is time for us to part 

I must leave you 'neath the maple on the hill
