[Verse 1]
     D                                    G      D
In a quiet country village stands a maple on the hill
                                 A
Where I sat with my Janetta long ago
       D                                    G               D
As the stars were shining brightly we could hear the whippoorwill
                             A         D
There we vowed to love each other evermore

[Verse 2]
         D                                 G                 D
We would sing love songs together when the birds had gone to rest
                                      A
And would listen to the murmur of the rill
         D                              G                D
Will you love me, little darling as you did those starry nights
                      A            D
As we sat beneath the maple on the hill

[Verse 3]
             D                            G              D
Don’t forget me, little darling when they lay me down to rest
                                         A
Just one little wish, my darling, that I pray
       D                                G              D
As you linger there in sadness thinking darling of the past
                            A             D
Let your teardrops kiss the flowers on my grave

[Verse 4]
       D                                 G                   D
I will soon be with the angels on that bright and peaceful shore
                                     A
Even now I hear them coming o’er the hill
       D                            G              D
So goodbye, my little darling It is time for us to part
                            A            D
I must leave you ‘neath the maple on the hill
