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
