My heart is broke and I am in troubled
But you're the one I love
But I know I ne'er shall see him

'Til we meet in heaven above.

So bury me beneath the willow

'Neath the weeping willow tree,
That he may know where I am sleepin',
Then perhaps he'll weep for me.


They told me that he did not love me,
But how could I believe it's true,

Until an angel whispered softly,
He no longer cares for you.


So bury me beneath the willow
'Neath the weeping willow tree,
That he may know where I am sleepin',

Then perhaps he'll weep for me.

Tomorrow was our wedding day

But Lord, O Lord where can he be
he's gone, he's gone to wed another
And he no longer cares for me.


So bury me beneath the willow
'Neath the weeping willow tree

That he may know where I am sleepin',
Then perhaps he'll weep for me.
