[Verse 1]
  G                C
Tonight I'm sad my heart is lonely
G                  D
For the only one I love
     G               C
When will I see her, oh no never
G       D              G
Till we meet in heaven above

[Chorus]
   G         C
So bury me beneath the willow
G                        D
Under the weeping willow tree
   G                   C
So she will know where I am sleeping
G      D                    G
And perhaps she’ll weep for me


[Solo]
G               C

[Verse 2]
    G                C
She told me that she dearly loved me
G                        D
How could I believe it untrue
  G              C
Until an angel softly whispered
G         D              G
She could never care for you


[Chorus]
   G         C
So bury me beneath the willow
G                        D
Under the weeping willow tree
   G                   C
So she will know where I am sleeping
G      D                    G
And perhaps she’ll weep for me

[Verse 3]
  G             C
Tomorrow was to be our wedding
   G                          D
Oh god, oh god, where can she be
      G               C
She’s gone a-courting with another
G      D                G
And no longer cares for me


[Chorus]
   G         C
So bury me beneath the willow
G                        D
Under the weeping willow tree
   G                   C
So she will know where I am sleeping
G      D                    G
And perhaps she’ll weep for me

And perhaps she’ll weep for me
