Song patter : A D A E
              A D A E-A all over again and again

Verse 1 :
       A                 D
    My heart is sad and I'm in sorrow,
            A         E
    for the only one I love,
         A                   D
    when shall I see him, oh, no never,
          A          E        A
   'till I meet him in heaven above.

Chorus :
    A                  D
Oh, bury me under the weeping willow,
     A                        E
yes, under the weeping willow tree.
   A                 D
So he may know where I am sleeping,
    A               E         A
and perhaps he will weep over me.

Verse 2 :
    They told me that he did not love me,
    I could not believe it was true,
    until an angel softly whispered,
    "He has proven untrue to you."

Chorus :
Oh, bury me under the weeping willow
Yes, under the weeping willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he will weep for me

    but, oh Lord, oh, where is he?
    He's gone to seek him another bride,
    and he cares no more for me.

Oh, bury me under the weeping willow
Yes, under the weeping willow tree

And perhaps he will weep for me

Oh, bury me under the violets blue
To prove my love to him
Tell him that I would die to save him
For his love I never could win

Chorus :
Oh, bury me under the weeping willow
Yes, under the weeping willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he will weep for me
