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
