My heart is sad and I am lonely
For the only girl I love
And now I know I'll never see her
Until we meet in heaven above

Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Beneath the weeping willow tree
And when she'll learn that I am sleeping
Then I know  she'll think of me

She told me that she loved me dearly
I answered that I loved her too
But then the willow seem to whisper
She will prove [bad word] to you

Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Beneath the weeping willow tree
And when she'll learn that I am sleeping
Then I know  she'll think of me

Tomorrow was to be our wedding
I wonder where my love can be
She's gone, she's gone to seek another
She no longer cares for me

Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Beneath the weeping willow tree
And when she'll learn that I am sleeping
Then I know  she'll think of me
Then I know  she'll think of me.
