Capo I Well my heart is sad and I am lonesome ) For the only one I love When shall I see him, oh, no never till we meet in heaven above Oh bury me beneath the willow ) Under the weeping willow tree So that he may know where I am sleeping And perhaps he'll weep for 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 beneath the willow ) Under the weeping willow tree So that he may know where I am sleeping And perhaps he'll weep for me Tomorrow was our wedding day ) But oh Lord, Lord where is he? He's gone to see him another bride And cares no more for me Oh bury me beneath the willow ) Under the weeping willow tree So that he may know where I am sleeping And perhaps he'll weep for me And perhaps he'll weep for me Set8
