Bury Me Under The Weeping Willow — 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 he'll 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 he'll weep for me

Well, tomorrow was to be Our wedding day But oh my god Where can he be? He's 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 he'll weep for me
