Jean Ritchie
Bury Me Beneath the Willow
[Chorus]
Go bury me beneath the willow
Underneath the weeping willow tree
And when he knows that I am sleeping
Then perhaps he'll weep for me

[Fiddle Solo]

[Verse 1]
When sun had set and we were seated
Underneath the willow tree
He whispered words of love so softly
I believed him true to me

[Chorus]
Go bury me beneath the willow
Underneath the weeping willow tree
And when he knows that I am sleeping
Then pеrhaps he'll weep for me

[Banjo Solo]

[Verse 2]
He told mе that he did not love me
But I did not think it true
Until some sweet-voiced angel whispered
He no longer cares for you
[Chorus]
Go bury me beneath the willow
Underneath the weeping willow tree
And when he knows that I am sleeping
Then perhaps he'll weep for me
