Bury me beneath the willow
Bury me beneath the willow Under the weeping willow tree When she hears that I am sleeping Maybe then she'll think of me My heart is sad and I'm in sorrow Weeping for the one I love When shall see her, oh, no never 'Til we meet in heaven above Tomorrow was to be our wedding But Lord, oh Lord, where can she be She's gone, she's gone to find another She no longer cares for me She told me that she did not love me I couldn't believe it was true Until an angel softly whispered She no longer cares for you Place on my grave a snow white lily To prove my love for her was true To show the world I died of grieving For her love I could not win
