A                 D
    My heart is sad and I'm in sorrow,
            A         E
    for the only one I love,
         A                   D
    when shall I see him, oh, no never,
          A          E        A
   'till I meet him in heaven above.


Chorus :
    A                  D
Oh, bury me under the weeping willow,
     A                        E
yes, under the weeping willow tree.
   A                 D
So he may know where I am sleeping,
    A               E         A
and perhaps he will weep over me.

Verse 2 :
    They told me that he did not love me,
    I could not believe it was true,
    until an angel softly whispered,
    "He has proven untrue to you."


Chorus :
Oh, 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
