[VERSE 1]

        C                F
Well my heart is sad and I am lonesome
C                  G
For the only one I love
     C                F
When shall I see him, oh, no never
        C       G       C
till we meet in heaven above


[CHORUS]

   C         F
Oh bury me beneath the willow
  C                      G
Under the weeping willow tree
    C                     F
So that he may know where I am sleeping
      C           G        C
And perhaps he'll weep for me

[VERSE 2]

     C               F
They told me that he did not love me
   C                       G
I could not believe it was true
  C            F
Until an angel softly whispered
       C        G       C
He has proven untrue to you

Oh bury me beneath the willow
  C                      G
Under the weeping willow tree
    C                     F
So that he may know where I am sleeping
       C          G        C
And perhaps he'll weep for me

[VERSE 3]

    C            F
Tomorrow was our wedding day
       C                   G
But oh Lord, Lord where is he?
     C             F
He's gone to see another bride
    C        G        C
And cares no more for me

   C         F
Oh bury me beneath the willow
  C                      G
Under the weeping willow tree
    C                     F
So that he may know where I am sleeping
       C          G        C
And perhaps he'll weep for me
