Tried to post this 3 times before. This is a song my Grandmama sang, she will be 102 in Febuary. Falling Leaf is an Indain maiden. I am looking for words and music. Thank you for any help you can give.

Fallen Leaves
(Jimmie Skinner)
All alone in a wigwam, In 1863,
There lived a fair Indian Maiden, They Called Her Fallen Leaves.
Pretty as the stars up above you, Fair as the moon in the trees,
Because she was born in October, They Called Her Fallen Leaves.
There came a trooper one morning, Just at the break of day,
He stopped to rest at the wigwam, Of the shy little Indian maid.
Fallen Leaves the breezes whisper, Fallen Leaves the breezes sigh,
When he rode on that evening, Fallen Leaves rode by his side.

One night while she lay sleeping The moon was shining bright,
He Stole away from the campfire, Then rode into the night.
Fallen Leaves the breezes whisper, Fallen Leaves the breezes sigh,
Out in the lonesome old forest, Fallen Leaves she lingered and died.

far across the rolling prarie, where the old snake river lies,
there lived an indian maiden, the fairest seen by mortal eyes.
fallen leaves the breezes whisper, fallen leaves the breezes sigh,
but like the leaves in autumn, fallen leaves the maiden died.

My father learned this song from his mother and used to sing it when I was little, but he learned a later verse:

In the forest on an autumn's early day, came a hunter tired and weary for he had lost his way.
He knelt down by the river, "Oh Falling Leaves," he cried,
For he remembered the beautiful October when she had promised to be his bride.

Does anyone else remember this?

guest, there is a link at the top of the thread which will take you to another thread on the subject. I didn't see exactly what you suggest, but there is a lot more there. See Click for related thread link


Just as a helpful hint, they discourage the use of Guest,guest as a sign in.   Pick some other name and use it consistently. I never sign in anymore, but if anyone is ever paying attention to what I write, then they know that DWR stands for Dale. If not? Well, can't help that.
