Bury Me Beneath the Willow - Traditional

My heart is sad and I am lonely for the only one I love

When shall I see her, oh no never, 'til we meet in Heaven above

Oh bury me beneath the willow, under the weeping willow tree

So she will know where I am sleeping and perhaps she'll weep for me

She told me that she dearly loved me, how could I believe it untrue?

Until the angel softly whispered, "She will prove untrue to you"

Oh bury me beneath the willow, under the weeping willow tree

So she will know where I am sleeping and perhaps she'll weep for me

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

She's out a-courting with another and no longer cares for me

Oh bury me beneath the willow, under the weeping willow tree

So she will know where I am sleeping and perhaps she'll weep for me
