Bury Me Under the Weeping Willow

Bury Me Under the Weeping Willow

The Carter Family

My heart is sad and I am sorrow

For the only one I love

When shall I meet him?

Oh no, never, till I meet him in heaven above

Oh bury me underneath the willow

Yeah,under the weeping willow tree

So he may know where I am sleeping

And perhaps he'll weep for me

Well, he told me that he dearly loved me

Oh, I could not believe it was true

Until the angels softly whispered

"He has proven been untrue to you"

Oh bury me underneath the willow

]Yeah,under the weeping willow tree

So he may know where I am sleeping

And perhaps he'll weep for me

Tomorrow was our wedding day

But oh my God, where is he?

He's gone to see *** the bride

And cares no more for me

Oh bury me underneath the willow

Yeah,under the weeping willow tree

So he may know where I am sleeping

And perhaps he'll weep for me

Oh bury me under according the through to

Through my love to him

May him and I would die to sleeping for the love I never get

Oh bury me underneath the willow

Under the weeping willow tree

So he may know where I am sleeping

And perhaps he'll weep for me
