Willow, weep for me
Willow, weep for me
Bend your branches green
Along the stream that runs to sea
Listen to my plea
Listen, willow
And weep for me
Gone, my lover's dream
Lovely summer dream
Gone, and left me here
To weep my tears into the stream
Sad as I can be
Hear me, willow
And weep for me
Whisper to the wind
And say that love has sinned
To leave my heart a-breakin'
And makin' a moan
Murmur to the night
To hide her starry light
So none will find me sighing
And crying all alone
Oh, weeping willow tree
Weep in sympathy
Bend your branches down
Along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall
Bend, oh, willow
And weep for me
Willow, weep for me
Willow, weep for me
Bend your branches green
Along the stream that runs to sea
Listen to my plea
Listen, willow
And weep for me
Gone, my lover's dream
Lovely summer dream
Gone, and left me here
To weep my tears into the stream
Sad as it may be
Hear me, willow
And weep for me
Whisper to the wind
Say that love has sinned
Leave my heart a-breakin'
And makin' a moan
Murmur to the night
To hear her starry light
So none will find me sighing
And crying all alone
Weeping willow tree
Bend your branches down
Along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall
Bend, oh, willow
And weep for me
(vocalizing break)
Willow, weep for me
Willow, weep for me
Bend your branches green
Along the stream that runs to sea
Listen to my plea
Listen, willow
And weep for me
Gone, my lover's dream
Lovely summer dream
Gone, and left me here
To weep my tears into the stream
Sad as I can be
Hear me, willow
And weep for me
Whisper to the wind
And say that love has sinned
To leave my heart a-breakin'
And makin' a moan
Murmur to the night
To hide her starry light
So none will find me sighing
And crying all alone
Oh, weeping willow tree
Weep in sympathy
Bend your branches down
Along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall
Bend, oh, willow
And weep for me
