| The Leaves Mustn t Fall |
| by: Moon Mullican |
| A | |
| The autumn leaves were falling |
| D | |
| And the | snow was soon to come |
| E | A | |
| As | I was walking down a lonely | road |
| D | |
| I saw a little fellow who was | sitting all alone |
| E | A | |
| Catching leaves as they began to | fall |
| Chorus |
| A | D | |
| The leaves mustn t fall, oh | no they mustn t fall |
| E | A | |
| I m | tying the leaves so they will | stay |
| I ve lost my mom and dad |
| D | |
| Now | sister s all I have |
| E | A | |
| Don t | let the falling leaves take her a - | way |
| A | D | |
| My sister s only seven, and she s | sure a pretty thing |
| E | A | |
| As | pretty as a picture on the | wall |
| D | |
| The doctor came this summer and he | said that she would die |
| E | A | |
| When the | autumn leaves had turned and start to | fall |
| Chorus: |
| A | |
| So won t you help me mister |
| D | |
| Won t you | help me tie the leaves |
| E | A | |
| We ll | tie them to the branches good and | strong |
| So come now we must hurry |
| D | |
| So we can | keep my sister here |
| E | A | |
| And | show the doctor man that he was | wrong |
| Chorus: |
| Tab: |
| E | A | |
| Don t | let the falling leaves take her a - | way |
