My heart is sad and I am lonely For the only one I love When shall I see him? Oh, no, never Till we meet in heaven above Oh, bury me beneath the willow Under the weepin' willow tree So he will know where I am sleeping And, perhaps, he'll weep for me He told me that he dearly loved me How could I believe it untrue? Until the angels softly whispered He will prove untrue to you Oh, bury me beneath the willow Under the weepin' willow tree So he will know where I am sleeping And, perhaps, he'll weep for me Tomorrow was our wedding day Oh God, oh God, where can he be? He's out a-courting with another And no longer cares for me Oh, bury me beneath the willow Under the weepin' willow tree So he will know where I am sleeping And, perhaps, he'll weep for me
