Bury Me Beneath the Willow

Bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he’ll weep for me
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
So bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he’ll weep for me
He told me that he dearly loved me
How could I think it untrue?
Until an angel softly whispered
He has proven untrue to you
So bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he’ll weep for me
Tomorrow was our wedding day
But Lord, oh Lord, where is he?
He’s gone to seek him another bride
And no longer cares for me
Oh bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he’ll weep for me
