lyrics

My heart is sad and I am lonely
For the only one I love
When will 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 may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he'll weep for me

He told me that he dearly loved me
How could I believe him untrue?
Until the angel softly whispered
He will prove untrue to you

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

Tomorrow was our wedding day
Oh, Lord, my God, where can he be?
He is out a-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
