Bury Me Beneath the Willow

Compositor: Não Disponível

My heart is sad and I am lonely
For the only one I love
When shall I see him? Oh, no, never
Till we meet in heaven above

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

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

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

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

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
