BURY ME UNDER THE WEEPING WILLOW
As recorded by The Carter Family

1. My heart is sad and I'm in sorrow
For the only one I love.
When shall I see him? Oh, no, never
Till I meet him in heaven above.

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.

2. They told me that he did not love me.
I could not believe it was true
Until an angel softly whispered
"He is proving untrue to you." CHORUS

[Instrumental break]

3. Tomorrow was our wedding day,
But, O Lord, oh, where is he?
He's gone to seek him another bride
And he cares no more for me. CHORUS

[Instrumental break]

4. Oh, bury me under the violets blue,
To prove my love to him.
Tell him that I would die to save him
For his love I never could win. CHORUS
