Bury me beneath the willow,

'Neath the weeping willow tree.
When he comes and finds me sleeping,
Then perhaps he'll think of me.

I am sad and I am lonely,
Thinking of the one I love.
Oh, I may not ever see him,
'Till we meet in Heav'n above.

Bury me beneath the willow,

'Neath the weeping willow tree.

Since you've gone to love another,

Here is not the world for me.
