Bury Me Under The Weeping Willow Natalie Merchant

[Verse 1]
Well, my heart is sad and I am lonesome
For the only one I love
When shall we meet? Oh, no, no, never
'Til we meet in heaven above

[Chorus]
So bury me underneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So that he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he'll weep for me

[Verse 2]
Well, he told me then he dearly loved me
And, oh, how could it be untrue?
Until the angels softly whispered
"He will prove untrue to you"

[Chorus]
So bury me underneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So that he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he'll weep for me

[Verse 3]
Well, tomorrow was to be our wedding day
And, oh my God, where can he be?
He's out a-courting with another
And no longer cares for me
