Bury Me Beneath the Willow

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Under the weepin' willow tree
So he will know where I am sleeping
And, perhaps, he'll weep for me

[Verse 2]
He told me that he dearly loved me
How could I believe it untrue?
Until the angels softly whispered
"He will prove untrue to you"

[Chorus]
Oh, bury me bеneath the willow
Under thе weepin' willow tree
So he will know where I am sleeping
And, perhaps, he'll weep for me

[Verse 3]
Tomorrow was our wedding day
Oh God, oh God, where can he be?
He's out a-courting with another
And no longer cares for me

[Chorus]
Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Under the weepin' willow tree
So he will know where I am sleeping
And, perhaps, he'll weep for me
