ARTIST: Carter Family SONG: Bury Me Under the Weeping Willow ALBUM: In The Shadow Of Clinch Mountain (recorded circa 1930) [Intro] C F C G C F C G C [Verse 1]
   C                F
My heart is sad and I'm in sorrow

        C          G
For the only one I love

     C                F
When shall I see him, oh, no never

       C           G       C
Till I meet him in heaven above
[Chorus]
    C                 F
Oh, bury me under the weeping willow

     C                        G
Yes, under the weeping willow tree

   C                 F
So he may know where I am sleeping

       C            G        C
And perhaps he will weep for me
[Verse 2]
     C               F
They told me that he did not love me

        C                  G
I could not believe it was true

  C            F
Until an angel softly whispered

       C        G       C
He has proven untrue to you
[Chorus]
    C                 F
Oh, bury me under the weeping willow

     C                        G
Yes, under the weeping willow tree

   C                 F
So he may know where I am sleeping

       C            G        C
And perhaps he will weep for me
[Instrumental] C F C G C F C G C [Verse 3]
  C              F
Tomorrow was our wedding day

       C                   G
But oh Lord, Lord where is he?

     C                 F
He's gone to seek him another bride

       C        G        C
And he cares no more for me
[Chorus]
    C                 F
Oh, bury me under the weeping willow

     C                        G
Yes, under the weeping willow tree

   C                 F
So he may know where I am sleeping

       C            G        C
And perhaps he will weep for me
[Outro] C F C G C F C G C
