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,
