Capo I 

A D A E A 

        A                D 
Well my heart is sad and I am lonesome 
A                  E   (E7) 
For the only one I love 
     A                D 
When shall I see him, oh, no never 
E                       A 
till we meet in heaven above 

   A         D 
Oh bury me beneath the willow 
A                        E   (E7) 
Under the weeping willow tree 
        A                 D 
So that he may know where I am sleeping 
E                          A 
And perhaps he'll weep for me 

A D A E A 

     A               D 
They told me that he did not love me 
A                          E   (E7) 
I could not believe it was true 
  A            D 
Until an angel softly whispered 
E                       A 
He has proven untrue to you 

   A         D 
Oh bury me beneath the willow 
A                        E   (E7) 
Under the weeping willow tree 
        A                 D 
So that he may know where I am sleeping 
E                          A 
And perhaps he'll weep for me 

A D A E A 

A                D 
Tomorrow was our wedding day 
       A                   E  (E7) 
But oh Lord, Lord where is he? 
     A                D 
He's gone to see him another bride 
E                     A 
And cares no more for me 

   A         D 
Oh bury me beneath the willow 
A                        E   (E7) 
Under the weeping willow tree 
        A                 D 
So that he may know where I am sleeping 
E                          A 
And perhaps he'll weep for me 

E                          A 
And perhaps he'll weep for me 

A D A E A
