My heart is sad And I am lonely for the only one I love When shall I see her oh no never Till 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 angels 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.
