Well, my heart is sad
|
And I am lonesome
|
For the only one I love
|
When shall we meet?
|
Oh no never
|
Till we meet in heaven above
|
|
So bury me underneath the willow
|
Under the weeping willow tree
|
So that he may know
|
Where I am sleeping
|
And perhaps he'll weep for me
|
|
Well, he told me that
|
He dearly loved me
|
Oh how could it be untrue?
|
Until the angels softly whispered,
|
"he will prove untrue to you"
|
|
So bury me underneath the willow
|
Under the weeping willow tree
|
So that he may know
|
Where I am sleeping
|
And perhaps he'll weep for me
|
|
Well, tomorrow was to be
|
Our wedding day
|
But oh my god
|
Where can he be?
|
He's out a courting with another
|
And no longer cares for me
|
|
So bury me underneath the willow
|
Under the weeping willow tree
|
So that he may know
|
Where I am sleeping
|
And perhaps he'll weep for me
|
