My heart is sad and I'm in sorrow
for the only one I love
When shall I see him, oh, no never,
'til I meet him in Heaven above
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 over me

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"
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 over me

Tomorrow was our wedding day
but, oh Lord, oh where is he
He's gone to seek him another bride
and he cares no more for me
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 over me

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
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 over me
