v.1
My heart is sad and I am sorrowed
For the only one that I love
When shall I see him? Oh, no never
Til I meet him in Heaven above

Chorus:
Oh bury me under the weeping willow
Yes under the weeping willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he will weep over me

v.2
They told me that he did not love me
I could not believe it was true
Until an angel softly whispered
He has proven untrue to you

Rpt. Ch.

Instr. Brk.

v.3
Tomorrow was our wedding day
But Oh Lord, oh where is he?
He's gone to seek him another bride
And he cares no more for me

v.4
Oh bury me under the violets blue
To prove my love for him
Tell him that I would die to save him
For his love I could never win

Rpt. Ch.
