[ Capo 2 ]
 
 
Well, my heart is sad 
        
And I am lonesome 
                   
For the only one I love 
                           
When shall we meet?     Oh no no never 
                                     
Till we meet in heaven above

So bury me underneath the willow 
                         
Under the weeping willow tree 
                                
So that she may know       where I am sleeping 
                   
And perhaps she?ll weep for me  
 
 
Well, she told me that 
        
She dearly loved me 
               
Oh my lord how can it be? 
                                  
Until the angels           softly whispered, 
                         
?she will prove untrue to you?

Tomorrow was to be 
       
Our wedding day 
                             
But oh my god               Where can she be?  
               
She?s out a courting with another 
                       
And no longer cares for me
