The Carter Family — Bury Me Under the Weeping Willow lyrics

Lyrics

My heart is sad and I’m in sorrow
For the only one I love
When will I see him, no, no, never
Till I meet him in heaven above
Then bury me beneath the willow
Beneath the weeping willow tree
Where 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 him untrue
Until an angel softly whispered
He has proven untrue to you
Then bury me beneath the willow
Beneath the weeping willow tree
Where he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he will weep for me Tomorrow was their wedding day
But, alas, oh, where can he be He’s gone, he’s gone to wed another
And he no longer cares for me Then bury me beneath the willow
Beneath the weeping willow tree
Where he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he will weep for me
