Bury Me Beneath the Willow

When shall I see her? Oh, Lord, never 'Til we meet in heaven above.

Oh, bury me beneath the willow Under the weeping willow tree.

So she will know where I am sleeping And perhaps she'll weep for me.

[guitar strumming] She told me that she dearly loved me.

How could I believe it untrue? Until the angel softly whispered, "She will prove untrue to you." Oh, bury me beneath the willow Under the weeping willow tree.

So she will know where I am sleeping And perhaps she'll weep for me.

[guitar strumming] Tomorrow was our wedding day.

Oh, God, oh, God, can she be? She's out a-courting with another And no longer cares for me.
