Bury Me Beneath the Willow
cho: Then bury me beneath the willow
'Neath the weeping willow tree
When he knows where I am sleeping
Then perhaps he'll weep for me
My heart is sad and I am lonely
Thinking of the one I love
I know I never more shall see him
'Till we meet in heaven above.
They told me that he loved another
How could I believe them true
Until an angel softly whispered
He has proven his love untrue.
Tomorrow was to be our wedding
O Lord, O Lord where can he be
He's gone away to wed another
And no more he cares for me.
From American Songbag, Sandburg
Recorded by Guthrie & Houston, and about a million early C&W artists
