The ToneWay® Project: helping people play music

Bury Me Beneath the Willow [core]

My heart is sad and 4 I am lonely
1 For the only one I 5 love
When 1 shall I see her? 4 Oh, no never
1 'Til we 5 meet in Heaven 1 above

Chorus
Oh bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So she will know where I am sleeping
And perhaps she'll weep for me

She told me that she dearly loved me
How could I believe her untrue
Until the angels softly whispered
She will prove untrue to you

Tomorrow was our wedding day
Oh God, oh God, where can she be
She's out a-courting with another
And no longer cares for me

It’s on Strum Machine!
