"Bury Me Beneath The Willow" lyrics - NICKEL CREEK

Tonight I'm sad my heart is lonely
For the only one I love
When shall I see her, oh no never
Till we meet in heaven above

So bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So she will know where I am sleeping
And perhaps she'll weep for me

She told me that she dearly loved me
How could I believe it untrue
Until the angels softly whispered
She no longer cares for you

So bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So she will know where I am sleeping
And perhaps she'll weep for me

Tomorrow was our wedding day
Oh god, oh god, where can she be
She's gone a-courting with another
And no longer cares for me

So bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So she will know where I am sleeping
And perhaps she'll weep for me

So bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So she will know where I am sleeping
And perhaps she'll weep for me
And perhaps she'll weep for me
