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
