My heart is sad and I'm in sorrow for the only one I love. When shall I see him, oh no, never till I meet him in heaven above. Oh, bear me under the weeping willow, yes, under the weeping willow tree. Though he may know for I am sleeping and perhaps he will weep for me. They told me that he did not love me, I could not believe it was true. Until an angel softly whispered, he is proving untrue to you. Oh, bear me under the weeping willow, yes, under the weeping willow tree. Though he may know for I am sleeping and perhaps he will weep for me. Tomorrow was our wedding day, but no more, don't worry it seems. He's gone to seek him another bride and he cares no more for me. Oh, bear me under the weeping willow, yes, under the weeping willow tree. Though he may know for I am sleeping and perhaps he will weep for me. Oh, bear me under the hottest blue to prove my love to him. Tell him that I would die to save him for his love I never could win. Oh, bear me under the weeping willow, yes, under the weeping willow tree. Though he may know for I am sleeping and perhaps he will weep for me.
