Under the weeping willow tree
So she will know where I am sleeping
And perhaps she'll weep for me.
My heart is sad I am lonely
For the only one I love
When shall I see her oh no never
'Til we meet in heaven above.
She told me that she dearly loved me
How could I believe it untrue
Until the angels softly whispered
She will prove untrue to you.
Tomorrow was to be our wedding
God oh God where can she be
She's out a courting with another
And no longer cares for me
Oh, bury me beneath the willow Under the weeping willow tree So she will know where I am sleeping And perhaps she'll weep for me. My heart is sad I am lonely For the only one I love When shall I see her oh no never 'Til we meet in heaven above. She told me that she dearly loved me How could I believe it untrue Until the angels softly whispered She will prove untrue to you. Tomorrow was to be our wedding God oh God where can she be She's out a courting with another And no longer cares for me Explain Request ×
