E
My heart is sad, and I'm in sorrow
B
For the only one I love
C#m A
When shall I see him? Oh, no, never
E B E
'Til I meet him in heaven above
[Chorus]
C#m A E B
Oh, bury me under the Weeping Willow tree
C#m A
So he may know where I am sleeping
E B C#m
Perhaps will weep over me
[Verse 2]
C#m A
They told me that he did not love me
E B
I could hardly believe it was true
E A B
Until an angel softly whispered
C#m
"He has proven untrue to you"
[Chorus]
C#m A E B
Oh, bury me under the Weeping Willow tree
C#m A
So he may know where I am sleeping
E B C#m
Perhaps will weep over me
A B C#m
And perhaps he'll weep over me
[Verse 3]
C#m A
Tomorrow was our wedding day
E B
But no, Lord, where is he?
C#m A
He's gone and found him another bride
E B E
And he cares no more for me
[Chorus]
C#m A E B
Oh, bury me under the Weeping Willow tree
C#m A
So he may know where I am sleeping
E B C#m
Perhaps will weep over me
A B C#m
And perhaps he'll weep over me
[Verse 4] *accapella on recording*
C#m A
Bury me under the violets blue
E B
To prove my love to him
C#m
Tell him that I'd die for him
E C#m
His love I never could win
[Chorus]
C#m A E B
Oh, bury me under the Weeping Willow tree
C#m A
So he may know where I am sleeping
E B C#m
And perhaps will weep over me
A B C#m
And perhaps will weep over me
A B C#m
And perhaps will weep over me
A B A
And perhaps will weep over me
