Maple On The Hill

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 that Maple On The Hill Fiddle Solo We would sing love songs together while 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 that Maple On The Hill guitar solo Don't forget me, little darling when they lay me down to die Just one little wish, darling that I pray As you linger there in sadness thinking darling, of the past Lay your teardrops kiss the flowers on my grave banjo solo 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 and that Maple On The Hill >From Jim Lauderdale & Ralph Stanley "I Feel Like Singing Today" Rebel Records 1999 Public Domain Ralph Stanley vocals/guitar Jim Lauderdale vocals/guitar Jack Cooke bass/baritone vocals James Alan Shelton lead guitar Ralph Stanley II guitar/baritone vocals Steve Sparkman banjo James Price fiddle/mandolin/vocals
