Bury Me Beneath the Willow

My heart is broken, I'm in sorrow. Weeping for the one I love. But never more shall I see her. Till we meet in heaven above. Oh, bury me beneath

the willow. 'Neath the weeping willow tree.

And when she knows that I am sleeping. Then perhaps she'll weep for me.

Tomorrow was our wedding day. Oh God, oh God, where can she be?

She's gone away to love another. And no more she cares for me.

Oh, bury me beneath the willow. 'Neath the weeping willow tree.

And when she knows that I am sleeping. Then perhaps she'll weep for me.

She told me that she dearly loved me. But how could I believe her true?

Until an angel softly whispered. "She will prove untrue to you."

Plant on my grave a snow white lily. Just to prove our love was true.

And tell her that I died to save her. Though her love I never knew.

Oh, bury me beneath the willow. 'Neath the weeping willow tree.

And when she knows that I am sleeping. Then perhaps she'll wait for me.
