UNDERNEATH THE SILVER MAPLE
Underneath the silver maple in the garden full of bloom
With the fragrance of the roses mingling with the wild bird's trill
There we planned our happy wedding, my Jenny dear and me
There I told her how I loved her, then she told me she loved me
I can see the lovelight shining when to crown my bride so fair
That day I plucked the rosebuds and twined them with her hair
CHORUS
It is there, always there
Underneath the silver maple tree so fair
Where I gave my heart to Jenny
Where she gave hers to me
The heart I gave to Jenny, it is there
Dear Jenny now is sleeping 'neath the silver maple tree
There the heart I gave still lingers, it will not come back to me
With the sun-kissed dews of morning on the garden full of bloom
With the starlight sky of heaven on her silver maple tomb
When the breath of evening breezes with the roses fragrance blown
I will visit you, my darling, for my heart is there you know.
