Weeping Willow

Lyrics

[Intro: A.P. Carter] As I say, that was in 1927, the second day of August.​ I'll  never forget it.​ [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Oh,  bury me under the Weeping Willow tree So he may know where I am sleeping Perhaps  will weep over me [Verse 2] They told me that he did not love me I could hardly believe it was true Until an angel softly whispered "He  has proven untrue to you" [Chorus] Oh, bury me under the Weeping Willow tree So he may know where I am sleeping Perhaps he will weep over me And perhaps he will weep over me [Verse 3] Tomorrow was our wedding day But no, Lord, where is he? He's gone and found him another bride And he cares no more for me [Chorus] Oh, bury me under the Weeping Willow tree So he may know where I am sleeping And perhaps will weep over me And perhaps will weep over me [Verse 4] Bury me under the violets blue To prove my love to him Tell him that I'd die for him His love I never could win [Chorus] Bury me under the Weeping Willow tree So he may know where I am sleeping And perhaps will weep over me And perhaps will weep over me And perhaps will weep over me And perhaps will weep over me
