The Carter Family — Bury Me Beneath The Willow lyrics

Lyrics

My heart is sad and I am lonely
For the only one I love
When shall I see him, oh, no never
'Til we meet up in heaven above
Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he will weep for me He told me that he dearly loved me How could I believe it untrue?
Until the angel softly whispered
He will prove untrue to you
Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he will weep for me Tomorrow was our wedding day
Oh, Lord, my God, where can he be?
He is out a-courting with another
And no longer cares for me Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he will weep for me
