Bury Me Under The Weeping Willow Lyrics - Natalie Merchant

Well, my heart is sad and I am lonesome 

For the only one I love 

When shall we meet? 

Oh no, never, till we meet in heaven above 

So bury me underneath the willow 

Under the weeping willow tree 

So that he may know where I am sleeping 

And perhaps hell weep for me 

Well, he told me that he dearly loved me 

Oh, how could it be untrue? 

Until the angels softly whispered 

He will prove untrue to you 

So bury me underneath the willow 

Under the weeping willow tree 

So that he may know where I am sleeping 

And perhaps hell weep for me 

Well, tomorrow was to be our wedding day 

But oh my God, where can he be? 

Hes out a courting with another 

And no longer cares for me 

So bury me underneath the willow 

Under the weeping willow tree 

So that he may know where I am sleeping 

And perhaps hell weep for me
