The Leaves Mustn t Fall
by: Moon Mullican
[A] The autumn leaves were falling
And the [D] snow was soon to come
As [E] I was walking down a lonely [A] road
I saw a little fellow who was [D] sitting all alone
[E] Catching leaves as they began to [A] fall
Chorus
[A] The leaves mustn t fall, oh [D] no they mustn t fall
I m [E] tying the leaves so they will [A] stay
I ve lost my mom and dad
Now [D] sister s all I have
Don t [E] let the falling leaves take her a -[A] way
[A] My sister s only seven, and she s [D] sure a pretty thing
As [E] pretty as a picture on the [A] wall
The doctor came this summer and he [D] said that she would die
When the [E] autumn leaves had turned and start to [A] fall
Chorus:
[A] So won t you help me mister
Won t you [D] help me tie the leaves
We ll [E] tie them to the branches good and [A] strong
So come now we must hurry
So we can [D] keep my sister here
And [E] show the doctor man that he was [A] wrong
Chorus:
Tab:
Don t [E] let the falling leaves take her a -[A] way
