Bury Me Beneath The Weeping Willow

My heart is sad

And I am lonely for the only one I love

When shall I see her, oh no, never?

'Til we meet in Heaven above

Oh, bury me beneath the willow

Under the weeping willow tree

So she will know where I am sleeping

And perhaps she'll weep for me

She told me that she dearly loved me

How could I believe it untrue?

Until the angels softly whispered

She will prove untrue to you

Oh, bury me beneath the willow

Under the weeping willow tree

So she will know where I am sleeping

And perhaps she'll weep for me

Tomorrow was our wedding day

Oh God, oh God, where can she be?

She's out a-courting with another

And no longer cares for me

Oh, bury me beneath the willow

Under the weeping willow tree

So she will know where I am sleeping

And perhaps she'll weep for me
