Keep Your Promise Willie Thomas Lyrics - Hank Snow

[ with Anita Carter ] 

Keep your promise Willie Thomas 

We pledged our love one day beneath the whispering maple tree 

You made a promise Willie Thomas 

That all the leaves would still be green when you returned to me 

But my heart is chilled and my eyes are filled 

As I watch the leaves of red and brown fall sadly to the ground 

You must keep your promise Willie Thomas 

There'll be on spring until you bring your love again to me 

[ fiddle ] 

I shall keep my promise Willie Thomas 

I pledged my love to you beneath the whispering maple tree 

So I'll keep my promise Willie Thomas 

Though all the leaves might not be green when I return to Thee 

Let your heart not be chilled nor your eyes be filled 

Cause I love you though you say the leaves are falling slowly down 

So I'll keep my promise Willie Thomas 

And there'll be spring cause with the birds I'll sing my love again to you 

Keep your promise Willie Thomas
