Bury Me Under The Weeping Willow

G
Well, my heart is sad
      C                 G
And I am lonesome
                         D
For the only one I love
G
When shall we meet?
     C               G
Oh, no never
            D                        G
Till we meet in heaven above

G            G7      C
Bury me underneath the willow
G                                        D
Under the weeping willow tree
            G
So that he may know
           C                      G
Where I am sleeping
           D                          G
And perhaps he'll weep for me

G
Well, he told me that
        C                        G
He dearly loved me
                                  D
Oh, how could it be untrue?
   G                       C                      G
Until the angels softly whispered,
            D                G
"He'll prove untrue to you"

G            G7      C
Bury me underneath the willow
G                                        D
Under the weeping willow tree
            G
So that he may know
           C                      G
Where I am sleeping
           D                          G
And perhaps he'll weep for me

G                                   C
Well, tomorrow was to be
                           G
Our wedding day
                                                   D
But oh, my God, where can he be?
       G                      C                    G
He's out a courting with another
               D                      G
And no longer cares for me

G            G7      C
Bury me underneath the willow
G                                        D
Under the weeping willow tree
            G
So that he may know
           C                      G
Where I am sleeping
           D                          G
And perhaps he'll weep for me
