Lyrics:

My heart is sad and I'm in sorrow
for the only one i love
When shall I meet him?
Oh, no, never till we meet 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'll weep for me

Tomorrow was to be our wedding
Where? Oh, where can he be?
He's gone away and found 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'll weep for me

He told me that he dearly loved me
surely I believed it true
Until the angels 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'll weep for me
