| 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 whippoor | will |
| 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 nig | hts |
| 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 l | ay me down to | die |
| G | D | |
| Just one little wish, darling that I | pray |
| G | C | G | |
| As you linger there in sadness thinking d | arling, of the p | ast |
| 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 s | hore |
| 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 |
