[ Capo 2 ]
Well, my heart is sad
And I am lonesome
For the only one I love
When shall we meet? Oh no no never
Till we meet in heaven above
Chorus followed by Instrumental
So bury me underneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So that she may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps she?ll weep for me
Well, she told me that
She dearly loved me
Oh my lord how can it be?
Until the angels softly whispered,
?she will prove untrue to you?
Chorus followed by Instrumental
Tomorrow was to be
Our wedding day
But oh my god Where can she be?
She?s out a courting with another
And no longer cares for me
Chorus followed by Instrumental
