Bury Me Beneath The Willow
The Carter Family
Original Key<B>
Clyde Davenport <G>
My heart is sad and I'm in sorrow
For the only one I love
When shall I see him oh no never
Till I meet him in heaven above
<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 over me
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> then <instrumental>
Tomorrow was our wedding day
But oh Lord oh where is he
He's gone to seek him another bride
And he cares no more for me
<chorus> then
<instrumental>
Oh bury me under the waters blue
To prove my love to him
Tell him that I would die to save him
For his love I never could win
<chorus> then
quick out
