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 D A D G D A D )
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.
