The Carter Family - Bury me under the weeping willow



 ---(capo 3rd fret)---



(chorus)
     A                   D
Oh, bury me beneath the weeping willow,
  A                       E
Under the weeping willow tree,
    E                 D
So he will know where I am sleeping,
      A             E       A
And perhaps she'll weep for me,


(verse 1)
    A            D
My heart is sad I am lonely,
         A          E
For the only one I love,
      A              D
When shall I see her oh no never,
        A        E      A 
Til we meet in heaven above,



(chorus)
     A                   D
Oh, bury me beneath the weeping willow,
  A                       E
Under the weeping willow tree,
    E                 D
So he will know where I am sleeping,
      A             E       A
And perhaps she'll weep for me,


(verse 2)
     A                D
He told me that he dearly loved me,
       A                  E
How could I believe it untrue,
 A                  D
Until the angels softly whispered,
          A       D       A
He will prove untrue to you,



(chorus)
     A                   D
Oh, bury me beneath the weeping willow,
  A                       E
Under the weeping willow tree,
    E                 D
So he will know where I am sleeping,
      A             E       A
And perhaps she'll weep for me,


(verse 3)
Tomorrow was to be our wedding,
God oh God where can He be,
He's out a courting with another,
And no longer cares for me,

 
(chorus)
     A                   D
Oh, bury me beneath the weeping willow,
  A                       E
Under the weeping willow tree,
    E                 D
So he will know where I am sleeping,
      A             E       A
And perhaps she'll weep for me,
