So that he may know where I am sleeping
So that he may know where I am sleeping
Oh, how could it be untrue?
So that he may know where I am sleeping
So bury me underneath the willow
So bury me underneath the willow
He’s out a courting with another
And no longer cares for me
“He will prove untrue to you”
Until the angels softly whispered
But oh my God, where can he be?
Oh no, never, till we meet in heaven above
Under the weeping willow tree
And perhaps he’ll weep for me
Well, he told me that he dearly loved me
Under the weeping willow tree
Under the weeping willow tree
Well, tomorrow was to be our wedding day
And perhaps he’ll weep for me
So bury me underneath the willow
When shall we meet?
