4/4 Timing (with a bass-strum-bass-strum pattern)
Tonight I'm sad my heart is lonely
For the only one I love
When will I see him, 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
How could I believe it untrue
Until the angels softly whispered
She will prove untrue to you
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
Tomorrow was our wedding day
Oh god, oh god, where can he be
He?s out a-courting with another
And no longer cares for me
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
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
