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 aboveSo bury me underneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So that he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps hell weep for meWell, he told me that he dearly loved me
Oh, how could it be untrue?
Until the angels softly whispered
He will prove untrue to youSo bury me underneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So that he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps hell weep for meWell, tomorrow was to be our wedding day
But oh my God, where can he be?
Hes out a courting with another
And no longer cares for meSo bury me underneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So that he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps hell weep for me
