Bury Me Beneath The Willow Songtext
von Emmylou Harris

My heart is sad, and I am lonely
For the only one I love
When shall I see him, oh, no, never
′Til we meet in heaven above

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

He told me that he dearly loved me
Could I believe it untrue
Until the angels softly whispered
He will prove untrue to you


Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So he will know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he′ll weep for me

Tomorrow was our wedding day
Oh God, oh God, where can he be
He's out courting with another
And no longer cares for me

Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he'll weep for me

And perhaps he′ll weep for me
