Moon Mullican – Leaves Mustn't Fall lyrics
The autumn leaves were falling
And the snow was soon to come
As I was walking down a lonely road
I saw a little fellow who was sitting all alone
Catching leaves as they began to fall

Chorus:
The leaves mustn't fall, oh no they mustn't fall
I'm tying the leaves so they will stay
I've lost my mom and dad
Now sister's all I have

Don't let the falling leaves take her away
My sister's only seven, and she's sure a pretty thing
As pretty as a picture on the wall

The doctor came this summer and he said that she would die
When the autumn leaves had turned and start to fall

Chorus:
So won't you help me mister
Won't you help me tie the leaves
We'll tie them to the branches good and strong

So come now we must hurry
So we can keep my sister here
And show the doctor man that he was wrong

Chorus

Don't let the falling leaves take her away

    I just heard it for the first time at Carlisle PA's Bluegrass On the Grass concert today. I had to look up the lyrics, (not the greatest sound system), thinking I was hearing a child's parents were dead and sister was dying. Seeing what it was brought me to tears I had to try to hide out here in public. It made me think of a poem in my grandmother's "Gems From Wordsworth" book, "We Are Seven". That little girl had her mother at least still, but lost a sister and brother close to her age, which bothered me reading as a child and gets me crying still as an adult when I think of it.
