Under the Weepin' Willow Songtext
von Emmylou Harris

My heart is sad and I am lonely
For the only one I love
When shall I see her? oh no never
′Til we meet in heaven above

So 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

So 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 the wedding day
Oh God, oh God, where can she be?
She's out a courting with another
And no longer cares for me


So 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
