My heart is sad and I am in sorrow
for the only one that I love
When shall I see him oh no never
till I meet him in heaven above
Oh bury me under the weeping willow
yes under the weeping willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
and perhaps he will weep over me
They told me that he did not love me
I could not believe it was true
Untill the angel softly whispered
he has proven untrue to you
Tomorrow was our wedding day
but oh Lord where is he
He is gone to see another bride
and he cares no more for me
Oh bury me under the weeping willow
yes under the weeping willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
and perhaps he will weep over me
