Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Poor Orphan Child/Weeping Willow
Straight from their songbook.

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 will know where I am sleeping and perhaps he will weep for me.

They told me that he did not love me but I can't believe it's true,
Until an angel softly whispered he is proving untrue now to you. Chorus

Tomorrow was to be our wedding day but Lord, oh, where is he?
Oh, he has gone to seek another bride and he cares no more for me. Chorus

That's it. I can't believe I don't have a complete copy of that song on CD. Don't have the other one on any of my CD's. Guess I will have to get one with these two songs on it.
