Bury Me Beneath the Willow
My heart is sad, and I am lonely
For the only one I love
When shall I see him, oh, no, never
'Til we meet in heaven above
Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So he will know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he'll weep for me
He told me that he dearly loved me
Could I believe it untrue
Until the angels softly whispered
He will prove untrue to you
Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So he will know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he'll weep for me
Tomorrow was our wedding day
Oh God, oh God, where can he be
He's out courting with another
And no longer cares for me
Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he'll weep for me
And perhaps he'll weep for me
For the only one I love
When shall I see him, oh, no, never
'Til we meet in heaven above
Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So he will know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he'll weep for me
He told me that he dearly loved me
Could I believe it untrue
Until the angels softly whispered
He will prove untrue to you
Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So he will know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he'll weep for me
Tomorrow was our wedding day
Oh God, oh God, where can he be
He's out courting with another
And no longer cares for me
Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he'll weep for me
And perhaps he'll weep for me
