        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
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
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
