BURY ME UNDER THE WEEPING WILLOW (A.P., Maybelle & Sara Carter) Performed by Natalie Merchant on "The House Carpenter's Daughter") Chorded by Izzylou Capo 2 G Well, my heart is sad C G And I am lonesome D For the only one I love G 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 G Well, he told me that C G He dearly loved me D Oh, how could it be untrue? G C G Until the angels softly whispered, D G "He'll prove untrue to you" 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 G C Well, tomorrow was to be G Our wedding day D But oh, my God, where can he be? G C G He's out a courting with another D G And no longer cares for me 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
