[Verse]
Am Dm Am
My heart is sad and I am lonesome
Em7
For the only one I love
Am Dm
When shall I see her, oh no never
Am Em7 Am
’Til we meet in heaven above
[Chorus]
Am Dm
So bury me beneath the willow
Am Em7
Underneath the willow tree
Am Dm Am
So she will know where I am sleeping
Em7 Am
And perhaps she’ll weep for me
[Verse]
Am Dm Am
She told me that she truly loved me
Em7
How could I believe it untrue
Am Dm Am
Until the angels softly whispered
Em7 Am
She will prove untrue to you
Am Dm
Tomorrow was to be our wedding
Am Em7
God, oh God, where can she be?
Am Dm
She’s gone a-courting with another
Am Em7 Am
And no longer cares for me
[Chorus]
Am Dm
So bury me beneath the willow
Am Em7
Underneath the willow tree
Am Dm Am
So she will know where I am sleeping
Em7 Am
And perhaps she’ll weep for me
