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…
