Intro

Verse 1

AK):

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

Chorus

Together):

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

Verse 2

LL):

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

Chorus

Together):

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

Instrumental break

Verse 3

AK):

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

Chorus

Together):

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
