Answer to Weeping Willow

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
