Bury Me Beneath The Willow

My heart is sad and I'm in sorrow

For the only one that I love

When shall I see him, oh, no, never

'Til I meet him in heaven above

So bury me beneath the willow

Under the weeping willow tree

That he may know where I am sleeping

And perhaps he will weep for me

They told me that he did not love me

I could not believe it was true

Until an angel softly whispered

"He has proven untrue to you"

So bury me beneath the willow

Under the weeping willow tree

That he may know where I am sleeping

And perhaps he will weep for me

Tomorrow was our wedding day

But oh Lord, dear Lord, where can he be?

He's gone, he's gone to wed another

And he cares no more for me

So bury me under the waters blue

To prove my love to him

Tell him that I would die to save him

But his love I never could win

So bury me beneath the willow

Under the weeping willow tree

That he may know where I am sleeping

And perhaps he will weep for me
