Bury Me Under The Weeping Willow

Rosanne Cash - Bury Me Under the Weeping Willow

my heart is sad and I am lonesome

For the only one I love

When shall we meet?

Oh no, never, till we meet in heaven above

So bury me underneath the willow

Under the weeping willow tree

So that he may know where I am sleeping

And perhaps he'll weep for me

Well, he told me that he dearly loved me

Oh, how could it be untrue?

Until the angels softly whispered

"He will prove untrue to you"

So bury me underneath the willow

Under the weeping willow tree

So that he may know where I am sleeping

And perhaps he'll weep for me

Tomorrow was to be our wedding day

But oh my God, where can he be?

He's out a courting with another

And no longer cares for me

So bury me underneath the willow

Under the weeping willow tree

So that he may know where I am sleeping

And perhaps he'll weep for me

And perhaps he'll weep for me
