My heart is sad and full of sorrow,
Weeping for the one I love.
When shall I see her, oh, no never,
'till we meet in Heaven above.

(Chorus)

Bury me beneath the willow,
Under the weeping willow tree.
So she may know where I am sleeping,
And perhaps sheíll weep for me.

Tomorrow is our wedding day,
But Lord, Lord where is she?
She's gone, she'­s gone to seek another,
She no longer cares for me.

(Chorus)

She told me that she did not love me,
But I couldn't believe it true.
Until an angel softly whispered,
She no longer cares for you.

(Chorus)

Place on my grave a snow-white Lilly,
For to prove my love was true.
To show the world I died of grieving,
For her love I could not win.

(Chorus)
