Verse 1:
  G                C
Tonight I'm sad my heart is lonely
G                  D
For the only one I love

Till we meet in heaven above

Chorus:

So bury me beneath the willow
G                        D
Under the weeping willow tree

She told me that she dearly loved me
G                        D
How could I believe it untrue
  G              C
Until an angel softly whispered
G         D              G
She could never care for you


Chorus:

So bury me beneath the willow

      G               C
She’s gone a-courting with another

And no longer cares for me
