Intro: D G D A D G D A D 

   D               G 
My love is dead and buried yonder 
  D                    A 
beneath the weeping willow tree. 
      D                G 
What wrecks my life and makes me wonder 
     D     A        D 
is because she died for me. 

        
     D           G            D           A 
Then lay me down in death beside her, for she's all this life to me, 
                         G                             D           A            D 
that I may join and e'er caress her, in a land beyond the sea. 

( D G D A D G D A D ) 

    D             G 
    Yes, she died before I told her 
           D               A 
    that I loved her true and kind, 
        D             G 
    and that I did not mean to fool her, 
            D       A  D 
    but she left me to repine. 

     D           G                        D             A 
Then lay me down in death beside her, for she's all this life to me, 
      D           G                  D       a      d      D 
that I may join and e'er caress her, in a land beyond the sea. 

( D G D A D G D A D ) 

         D           G 
    God, shall I ever get forgiveness 
            D               A 
    for the deeds that I have done, 
         D           G 
    and meet up yonder her sweet charming, 
           D      A     D 
    for I know she did me some.        
    
         D           G                           
    then lay me down in death beside her, for she's all this life to me, 
      D               G                  D       A      D 
    that I may join and e'er caress her, in a land beyond the sea.
