The Maple on the Hill
View ArtistLyrics
[Verse 1] In a quiet country village stood a maple on the hill Where I sat with my own darling long ago When the stars were shining brightly you could hear the whippoorwill And we vowed to love each other evermore [Chorus] We would sing a song together when the birds had gone to rest We would listen to the murmur of the rills Then you'd throw your arms around me, lay your head upon my breast As we sat beneath the maple on the hill [Verse 2] Don't forget mе, little darling, when they lay mе down to rest Just one little wish, my darling, that I crave As you linger there in sadness you are thinking of the past Let your teardrops kiss the flowers on my grave [Chorus] We would sing a song together when the birds had gone to rest We would listen to the murmur of the rills Then you'd throw your arms around me, lay your head upon my breast As we sat beneath the maple on the hill [Verse 3] I will soon be with the angels on that bright and golden shore Even now I hear them coming o'er the rills So goodbye, my little darling, it is time for us to part I must leave you and the maple on the hill [Chorus] We would sing a song together when the birds had gone to rest We would listen to the murmur of the rills Then you'd throw your arms around me, lay your head upon my breast As we sat beneath the maple on the hill
