My love is dead and buried yonder Beneath the weeping willow tree What wrecks my life and makes me wonder Is because she died for me CHORUS Then lay me down in death beside her For she's all this life to me That I may join and e'er caress her In a land be[A]yond the sea Yes she died before I told her That I loved her true and kind And that I did not mean to fool her But she left me to repine CHORUS God shall I ever get forgiveness For the deeds that I have done And meet up yonder her sweet charming For I know she did me some CHORUS
