Bury Me Beneath the Willow lyrics

Oh, bury me beneath the willow Under the weeping willow tree So she will know where I am sleeping And perhaps she’ll weep for me My heart is sad I am lonely For the only one I love When shall I see her oh no never ‘Til we meet in heaven above She told me that she dearly loved me How could I believe it untrue Until the angels softly whispered She will prove untrue to you Tomorrow was to be our wedding God oh God where can she be She’s out a courting with another And no longer cares for me
