The Carter Family - Bury Me Under The Weeping Willow Tree lyrics

[Verse 1] My heart is sad, and I'm in sorrow For the only one I love When shall I see him, oh, no, never Till I meet him in heaven above [Chorus] Oh, bury me under the weeping willow Yes, under the weeping willow tree So he may know where I am sleeping And perhaps he will weep for me [Verse 2] They told me that he did not love me I could not believe it was true Until an angel softly whispered "He has proven untrue to you" [Chorus] [Verse 3] Tomorrow was our wedding day But, Oh Lord, where is he? He's gone to seek him another bride And he cares no more for me [Chorus] [Verse 4] Oh, bury me under the violets blue To prove my love to him Tell him that I would die to save him For his love I never could win [Chorus]
