   D                 G
My love is dead and buried yonder
  D                        A
beneath the weeping willow tree.
       D                 G
What wrecks my life and makes me wonder
     D         A       D
is because she died for me.

      D              G                           D               A
Then lay me down in death beside her, for she's all this life to me,
    D                G                     D      A        D
that I may join and e'er caress her, in a land beyond the sea.

( D G D A D G D A D )

     D               G
    Yes, she died before I told her
            D                 A
    that I loved her true and kind,
         D              G
    and that I did not mean to fool her,
             D      A    D
    but she left me to repine.

      D              G                           D               A
Then lay me down in death beside her, for she's all this life to me,
    D                G                     D      A        D
that I may join and e'er caress her, in a land beyond the sea.

           D           G
    God, shall I ever get forgiveness
             D                 A
    for the deeds that I have done,
         D              G
    and meet up yonder her sweet charming,
            D       A      D
    for I know she did me some.

      D              G                           D               A
Then lay me down in death beside her, for she's all this life to me,
    D                G                     D      A        D
that I may join and e'er caress her, in a land beyond the sea.
