Bury Me Beneath the Willows

Chorus:
[G]Bury me [C]beneath the willows
[G]Under the weeping willow [D]tree
[G]When she hears that [C]I am sleeping
[G]Maybe [D]then she'll think of [G]me

My heart is sad and I'm in sorrow
Weeping for the one I love
When I shall see her, oh, no never
Till we meet in heaven above

Tomorrow was to be our wedding
But Lord, oh Lord, where can she be?
She's gone, she's gone to find another
She no longer care for me

She told me that she did not love me
I couldn't believe it was true
Until and angel softly whispered
"She no longer cares for you."

Place on my grave a snow white lily
To prove my love for her was true
To show the world I died of grieving
For her love I could not win.
