Bury Me Beneath the Willow

My heart is sad and I'm in sorrow
For the only one I love
When shall I see him, oh, no, never
Till I meet him in heaven above

Oh, bury me deep beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So he may know where I'm sleeping
And maybe he'll weep for me

They told me that he did not love me
I could not believe it true
Until an angel softly whispered
He has proven untrue to you

Bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So he may know where to find me
And maybe he'll weep for me

Tomorrow was our wedding day
But, Lord, oh, where is he
He's gone to seek him another bride
And he cares no more for me

Oh, bury me deep beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So he may know where to find me
And maybe he'll weep for me

Oh, bury me under the violets blue
To prove my love to him
Tell him that I would die to save him
For his love I never could win
Oh, bury me deep beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So he may know where to find me
And maybe he'll weep for me
