Bury Me Beneath the Willow C

Tonight I'm sad, my heart is lonesome
For the only one I love
When shall I see her? Oh no, never
Till we meet in heaven above
So bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So she will know where I am sleeping
And perhaps she'll weep for me

She told me that she dearly loved me
Oh, how could I believe it untrue?
Until an angel softly whispered
She could never care for you
Tomorrow was to be our wedding
Oh God, oh God, where can she be?
She's gone a-courting with another
And no longer cares for me
