Carter Family – Bury me under the weeping willow tree lyrics
My heart is sad
And I'm in sorrow
For the only one I love
When shall I meet him oh, no, never
Till I meet him in heaven above.
Bury me under the weeping willow
Yes under the weeping willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he may weep for me.
They told
Me that he did not love me
I did not believe it was true
Until an angel whispered softly
He has proven untrue to you.
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 for me.
Tomorrow was our wedding day
But oh lord oh where is he
He gone to seek him another bride
And he cares no more for me.
Bury me under the weeping willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he may weep for me.
Oh, Bury me under the violets blue
To prove my love to him
Tell him that I died to save him
For his love I could never win.
Bury me under the weeping willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he may weep for me.
