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
Till 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.
