About

First recorded by the Carter family in 1927, the origin of this song dates back to the 1800’s. Like many other folk songs, it’s complicated to know its true origins as songs were passed from people to people.

It’s really a mixture of bluegrass and folk, which were the origins of country music....

Bury Me Under the Weeping Willow Tree Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My heart is sad, and I'm in sorrow
For the only one I love
When shall I see him, oh, no, never
Till I meet him in heaven above

[Chorus]
Oh, bury me under the weeping willow
Yes, under the weeping willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he will weep for me

[Verse 2]
They told me that he did not love me
I could not believe it was true
Until an angel softly whispered
"He has proven untrue to you"

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Tomorrow was our wedding day
But, Oh Lord, where is he?
He's gone to seek him another bride
And he cares no more for me

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Oh, bury me under the violets blue
To prove my love to him
Tell him that I would die to save him
For his love I never could win

[Chorus]
