Well, my heart is sad

And I am lonesome

For the only one I love

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

Under the weeping willow tree
