My heart is sad and down in sorrow for the one that I love
When shall I see him oh no never till I meet in heaven above
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
[ guitar ]
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
Tomorrow was our wedding day but oh Lord oh where is he
He's gone to seek another bride and he cares no more for me
