Bury Me Beneath the Willow - Chris Thile, Michael Daves

Tonight I’m sad, my heart is lonesome

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

Oh, how could I believe it untrue?

Until an angel softly whispered

She could never care for you

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

Tomorrow was to be our wedding

Oh God, oh God, where can she be?

She’s gone a-courting with another

And no longer cares for me

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

So she will know where I am sleeping

And perhaps she’ll weep for me
