Bury Me Beneath the Willow - Tony Rice/Ricky Skaggs

My heart is sad I am lonely

For the only one I love

When shall I see her oh no never

'Til we meet in heaven above

Oh bury me beneath the willow

Under the weeping willow tree

So she will know where I am sleeping

And perhaps she'll weep for me

She told me that she dearly loved me

How could I believe it untrue

Until the angels softly whispered

She will prove untrue to you

Oh bury me beneath the willow

Under the weeping willow tree

So she will know where I am sleeping

And perhaps she'll weep for me

Tomorrow was our wedding day

Oh God oh God where can she be

She's out a courting with another

And no longer cares for me

Oh bury me beneath the willow

Under the weeping willow tree

So she will know where I am sleeping

And perhaps she'll weep for me
