C5 
Well, my heart is sad 
       F5 
And I am lonesome 
C5                  G5 
For the only one I love 
           C5               F5 
When shall we meet?     Oh no no never 
C5               G5                     C5 
Till we meet in heaven above

     C5          F5 
So bury me underneath the willow 
C5                        G5 
Under the weeping willow tree 
C5                           F5     
So that she may know       where I am sleeping 
C5    G5              C5 
And perhaps she?ll weep for me 
 
 
C5 
Well, she told me that 
       F5 
She dearly loved me 
C5              G5 
Oh my lord how can it be? 
C5                                 F5 
Until the angels           softly whispered, 
C5         G5               C5 
?she will prove untrue to you?

C5 
Tomorrow was to be 
      F5 
Our wedding day 
C5                            G5 
But oh my god               Where can she be?  
C5              F5 
She?s out a courting with another 
C5      G5                C5 
And no longer cares for me
