A D
Well my heart is sad and I am lonesome
A E (E7)
For the only one I love
A D
When shall I see him, oh, no never
E A
till we meet in heaven above
A D
Oh bury me beneath the willow
A E (E7)
Under the weeping willow tree
A D
So that he may know where I am sleeping
E A
And perhaps he'll weep for me
A D A E A
A D
They told me that he did not love me
A E (E7)
I could not believe it was true
A D
Until an angel softly whispered
E A
He has proven untrue to you
A D
Oh bury me beneath the willow
A E (E7)
Under the weeping willow tree
A D
So that he may know where I am sleeping
E A
And perhaps he'll weep for me
A D A E A
A D
Tomorrow was our wedding day
A E (E7)
But oh Lord, Lord where is he?
A D
He's gone to see him another bride
E A
And cares no more for me
A D
Oh bury me beneath the willow
A E (E7)
Under the weeping willow tree
A D
So that he may know where I am sleeping
E A
And perhaps he'll weep for me
E A
And perhaps he'll weep for me
A D A E A
