| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| Tomorrow was our wedding day
|
| But, Lord, oh, where is he
|
| He’s gone to seek him another bride
|
| And he cares no more for me
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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 |
