I'll have to go find lyrics to this one but we surely should nominate "The leaves mustn't fall." I have it on an album by Sam and Kirk McGhee (from sunny Tennessee). It tells of a young boy asking a passing stranger to help him tie the autumn leaves back up on the trees. The boy's mother and father are already dead and the doctor has told the boy that his ailing sister is going to die "When the autumn leaves have turned and start to fall."

The refrain goes:

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.

Whaddya think? Does it have a chance?
