Near a quiet country village stood a maple on the hill There I sat with my Jenetta long ago As the stars were shining brightly we could hear the whippoorwill As we sat beneath the maple on the hill 
We would sing love songs together when the birds had gone to rest We would listen to the murmur of the rill Will you love me little darling as you did that starry night As we sat beneath the maple on the hill 
Don’t forget me little darling when they lay me down to die Just one little wish, oh darling, that I crave When you linger there in sadness thinking, darling, of the past Let your teardrops kiss the flowers on my grave 
I will soon be with the angels on that bright and peaceful shore Even now I hear them coming o’er the hill So goodbye my little darling it is time for us to part I must leave you and the maple on the hill
