bury me
Unknown Traditional
My heart is sad and i am lonely for
The only one i love
When will 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 may know where i am sleeping
And perhaps she'll weep for me
She told me that she dearly loved me
How can 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 may know where i am sleeping
And perhaps she'll weep for me
Tomorrow was to be our wedding, oh god
Oh god, where can she be?
She's out a-courting with another and
No longer cares for me
Oh, bury me, sing me to sleep
Under the weeping willow tree
So she may know where i am sleeping
And perhaps she'll weep for me
