Chris Thile & Michael Daves Bury Me Beneath The Willow lyrics

Tonight I'm sad, my heart is lonesome
For the only one I love
When shall I see her? Oh no, never
Till we meet in heaven above

So bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So she will know where I am sleeping
And perhaps she'll weep for me

She told me that she dearly loved me
How could I believe it untrue?
Until an angels softly whispered
She could never care for you

So bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So she will know where I am sleeping

And perhaps she'll weep for me

Tomorrow was to be our wedding
Oh god, oh god, where can she be?
She's gone a-courting with another
And no longer cares for me

So bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So she will know where I am sleeping
And perhaps she'll weep for me

So she will know where I am sleeping
And perhaps she'll weep for me
