Beneath the Maple Lyrics
Beneath the Maple - 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
