Rosanne Cash - Bury Me Under The Weeping Willow lyrics

rate me

Well, my heart is sad and I am lonesome<br />

For the only one I love<br />

When shall we meet?<br />

Oh no, never, till we meet in heaven above<br />

<br />

So bury me underneath the willow<br />

Under the weeping willow tree<br />

So that he may know where I am sleeping<br />

And perhaps he?ll weep for me<br />

<br />

Well, he told me that he dearly loved me<br />

Oh, how could it be untrue?<br />

Until the angels softly whispered<br />

?He will prove untrue to you?<br />

<br />

So bury me underneath the willow<br />

Under the weeping willow tree<br />

So that he may know where I am sleeping<br />

And perhaps he?ll weep for me<br />

<br />

Well, tomorrow was to be our wedding day<br />

But oh my God, where can he be?<br />

He?s out a courting with another<br />

And no longer cares for me<br />

<br />

So bury me underneath the willow<br />

Under the weeping willow tree<br />

So that he may know where I am sleeping<br />

And perhaps he?ll weep for me<br /><br />
