BURY ME BENEATH THE 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

Chorus:

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

 

Chorus:

Oh Bury Me beneath the willow…

 

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

Chorus: Oh Bury me beneath the willow
