My heart is sad and I am lonely For the only girl I love And now I know I'll never see her Until we meet in heaven above
Oh, bury me beneath the willow Beneath the weeping willow tree And when she'll learn that I am sleeping Then I know she'll think of me
She told me that she loved me dearly I answered that I loved her too But then the willow seem to whisper She will prove untrue to you
Oh, bury me beneath the willow Beneath the weeping willow tree And when she'll learn that I am sleeping Then I know she'll think of me
Tomorrow was to be our wedding I wonder where my love can be She's gone, she's gone to seek another She no longer cares for me
Oh, bury me beneath the willow Beneath the weeping willow tree And when she'll learn that I am sleeping Then I know she'll think of me Then I know she'll think of me.
