Keep Your Promise, Willie Thomas

(Jack Fulton - Louis Steele)

Hank Snow & 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.



--- Instrumental ---



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...
