Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Bury me underneath the willow

Under the weeping willow tree

 So that he may know

 Where I am sleeping

 And perhaps he'll weep for me

Well, he told me that

 He dearly loved me

 Oh, how could it be untrue?

 Until the angels softly whispered,

 "He'll prove untrue to you"

Bury me underneath the willow

Under the weeping willow tree

 So that he may know

 Where I am sleeping

 And perhaps he'll weep for me

Well, tomorrow was to be

 Our wedding day

 But oh, my God, where can he be?

 He's out a courting with another

 And no longer cares for me

Bury me underneath the willow

Under the weeping willow tree

 So that he may know

 Where I am sleeping

 And perhaps he'll weep for me
