GIn a quiet country village stood a CMaple On The GHill
GWhere I sat with my Geneva long Dago
GAs the stars were shining brightly we could Chear the whippoorGwill
GAs we sat beneath that D7Maple On The GHill
[Verse]
GWe would sing love songs together while the Cbirds had gone to Grest
GWe would listen to the murmur o'er the Dhill
GWill you love me little darling as you Cdid those starry nigGhts
GAs we sat beneath that D7Maple On The GHill
[Verse]
GDon't forget me, little darling when they lCay me down to Gdie
GJust one little wish, darling that I Dpray
GAs you linger there in sadness thinking dCarling, of the pGast
GLay your teardrops kiss the D7flowers on my Ggrave
[Verse]
GI will soon be with the angels on that Cbright and peaceful sGhore
GEven now I hear them coming o'er the Dhill
GSo  goodbye my little darling, it is Ctime for us to Gpart
GI must leave you and that D7Maple On The GHill
