Bury Me Beneath the Weeping Willow Tree
Ricky Skaggs · Skaggs and Rice (w. Tony Rice) [Sugarhill] [1980]
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.
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.
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.
Tomorrow was to be our wedding
God oh God where can she be
She's out a courting with another
And no longer cares for me...
Under the weeping willow tree
So she will know where I am sleeping
And perhaps she'll weep for me.
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.
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.
Tomorrow was to be our wedding
God oh God where can she be
She's out a courting with another
And no longer cares for me...
