Ralph Stanley Maple On The Hill written by Gussie Davis
Jim Lauderdale
G C G
In a quiet country village stood a Maple On The Hill
G D
Where I sat with my Geneva long ago
G C G
As the stars were shining brightly we could hear the whippoorwill
G D7 G
As we sat beneath that Maple On The Hill
Fiddle Solo
G C G
We would sing love songs together while the birds had gone to rest
G D
We would listen to the murmur o'er the hill
G C G
Will you love me little darling as you did those starry nights
G D7 G
As we sat beneath that Maple On The Hill
guitar solo
G C G
Don't forget me, little darling when they lay me down to die
G D
Just one little wish, darling that I pray
G C G
As you linger there in sadness thinking darling, of the past
G D7 G
Lay your teardrops kiss the flowers on my grave
banjo solo
G C G
I will soon be with the angels on that bright and peaceful shore
G D
Even now I hear them coming o'er the hill
G C G
So goodbye my little darling, it is time for us to part
G D7 G
I must leave you and that Maple On The Hill
