Bury Me Under The Weeping Willow chords
Rosanne Cash (traditional, first recorded by Henry Whitter in 1923)
Capo I
ADAEAAD
Well my heart is sad and I am lonesome
AE (E7)
For the only one I love
AD
When shall I see him, oh, no never
EA
till we meet in heaven above
AD
Oh bury me beneath the willow
AE (E7)
Under the weeping willow tree
AD
So that he may know where I am sleeping
EA
And perhaps he'll weep for me
ADAEAAD
They told me that he did not love me
AE (E7)
I could not believe it was true
AD
Until an angel softly whispered
EA
He has proven untrue to you
AD
Oh bury me beneath the willow
AE (E7)
Under the weeping willow tree
AD
So that he may know where I am sleeping
EA
And perhaps he'll weep for me
ADAEAAD
Tomorrow was our wedding day
AE (E7)
But oh Lord, Lord where is he?
AD
He's gone to see him another bride
EA
And cares no more for me
AD
Oh bury me beneath the willow
AE (E7)
Under the weeping willow tree
AD
So that he may know where I am sleeping
EA
And perhaps he'll weep for me
EA
And perhaps he'll weep for me
ADAEA
