Bury Me Beneath The Willow
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My heart is sad and I’m lonely
For the only one I love
When shall I see her oh no never
Till 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
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
