[Verse 1:]
Well, my heart is sad
And i am lonesome
For the only one i love
When shall we meet?
Oh no never
Till 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 that
He dearly loved me
Oh how could it be untrue?
Until the angels softly whispered
“he will prove untrue to you”

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
Well, tomorrow was to be
Our wedding day
But oh my god
Where can he be?
He’s out a courting with another
And no longer cares for me
[Chorus]
