Bury Me Under the Weeping Willow - Natalie Merchant

Written by：A.P. Carter/Maybelle Carter/Sara Carter

Well my heart is sad and I am lonesome

For the only one I love

When shall we meet

Oh no never till we meet in heaven above

So 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 will prove untrue to you

So 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

So 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

So 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
