Lyrics
Answer to Weeping 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 love is dead and buried yonder
Beneath the weeping willow tree
What wrecks my life and makes me wonder
Is because she died for me
CHORUS
Then lay me down in death beside her
For she's all this life to me
That I may join and e'er caress her
In a land be[A]yond the sea
Yes she died before I told her
That I loved her true and kind
And that I did not mean to fool her
But she left me to repine
CHORUS
God shall I ever get forgiveness
For the deeds that I have done
And meet up yonder her sweet charming
For I know she did me some
CHORUS
