Lyrics

[00:02.35] My heart is sad and I'm in sorrow
[00:06.69] For the only one I love
[00:11.09] When shall I see him oh no never
[00:16.09] Till I meet him in heaven above
[00:20.06] Oh bury me under the weeping willow
[00:25.44] Yes under the weeping willow tree
[00:29.33] So he may know where I am sleeping
[00:33.68] And perhaps he will weep over me
[00:38.45] They told me that he did not love me
[00:43.05] I could not believe it was true
[00:47.20] Until an angel softly whispered
[00:51.57] He has proven untrue to you
[00:56.09] Oh bury me under the weeping willow
[01:00.15] Yes under the weeping willow tree
[01:05.04] So he may know where I am sleeping
[01:09.09] And perhaps he will weep over me
[01:13.56]
[01:30.18] Tomorrow was our wedding day
[01:34.27] But oh Lord oh where is he
[01:39.01] He's gone to seek him another bride
[01:43.24] And he cares no more for me
[01:47.69] Oh bury me under the weeping willow
[01:51.56] Yes under the weeping willow tree
[01:56.17] So he may know where I am sleeping
[02:00.25] And perhaps he will weep over me
[02:04.81]
[02:21.11] Oh bury me under the violets blue
[02:25.27] To prove my love to him
[02:29.56] Tell him that I would die to save him
[02:34.21] For his love I never could win
[02:38.03] Oh bury me under the weeping willow
[02:42.31] Yes under the weeping willow tree
[02:46.76] So he may know where I am sleeping
[02:51.09] And perhaps he will weep over me
