The Carter Family - Bury Me Under The Weeping Willow lyrics

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 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 over me 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 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 over me Tomorrow was our wedding day But, oh Lord, oh, where is he He's gone to seek him another bride And he cares no more for me 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 over me 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 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 over me
