Verse 1
     C      C7      F
My heart is sad and I am lonely
 C                  G      G7
For the only one I love
      C       C7      F
When shall I see him? Oh, no never
  C      G7             C
'Til we meet in Heaven above


Chorus
     C          F
Oh, bury me beneath the willow
 C                        G     G7
Under the weepin' willow tree
    C                 F
So he will know where I am sleepin'
 C    G                     C
And perhaps, he'll weep for me

Verse 2
     C      C7      F
He told me that he dearly loved me
  C                     G      G7
How could I believe it untrue?
  C        C7     F
Until the angel softly whispered
  C        G7             C
"He will prove untrue to you"


Chorus
     C          F
Oh, bury me beneath the willow

Under the weepin' willow tree
    C                 F
So he will know where I am sleepin'
 C      G                   C

Tomorrow was our wedding day
   C                          G    G7
Oh God, oh God, where can he be?
      C      C7      F
He's out a-courting with another
  C      G7             C
And no longer cares for me


Chorus
     C          F
Oh, bury me beneath the willow

Under the weepin' willow tree

So he will know where I am sleepin'
 C      G                   C
And perhaps, he'll weep for me
