BURY ME UNDER THE WEEPING WILLOW (A.P., Maybelle & Sara Carter) Performed by Natalie Merchant on "The House Carpenter's Daughter") Chorded by Izzylou
G 
Well, my heart is sad

      C                 G
And I am lonesome

                         D
For the only one I love

G
When shall we meet?

     C               G
Oh, no never

            D                        G
Till we meet in heaven above

G            G7      C          
Bury me underneath the willow

G                                        D
Under the weeping willow tree

            G
So that he may know

           C                      G
Where I am sleeping

           D                          G
And perhaps he'll weep for me

G 
Well, he told me that

        C                        G
He dearly loved me

                                  D
Oh, how could it be untrue?

   G                       C                      G
Until the angels softly whispered,

            D                G
"He'll prove untrue to you"

G            G7      C          
Bury me underneath the willow

G                                        D
Under the weeping willow tree

            G
So that he may know

           C                      G
Where I am sleeping

           D                          G
And perhaps he'll weep for me

G                                   C
Well, tomorrow was to be

                           G
Our wedding day

                                                   D
But oh, my God, where can he be?

       G                      C                    G
He's out a courting with another

               D                      G
And no longer cares for me

G            G7      C          
Bury me underneath the willow

G                                        D
Under the weeping willow tree

            G
So that he may know

           C                      G
Where I am sleeping

           D                          G
And perhaps he'll weep for me
