[Verse 1:] Well, my heart is sad And i am lonesome For the only one i love When shall we meet? Oh no never Till we meet in heaven above [Chorus:] So bury me underneath the willow Under the weeping willow tree So that he may know Where i am sleeping And perhaps he'll weep for me [Verse 2:] Well, he told me that He dearly loved me Oh how could it be untrue? Until the angels softly whispered “he will prove untrue to you” [Chorus] [Verse 3:] Well, tomorrow was to be Our wedding day But oh my god Where can he be? He's out a courting with another And no longer cares for me [Chorus]
