Bury Me Under The Weeping Willow Tree Lyrics - The House Carpenter's Daughter - Natalie Merchant

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 

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 

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" 

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 

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 

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
