Natalie Merchant

Bury me under the weeping willow


Capo 2  	 Key of D 	  	 Capo 5 	 Key of F

C
Well, my heart is sad
       F
And I am lonesome
C                  G
For the only one I love
           C               F
When shall we meet?     Oh no no never
C               G                     C
Till we meet in heaven above

     C          F
So bury me underneath the willow
C                        G
Under the weeping willow tree
C                           F    
So that she may know       where I am sleeping
C    G              C
And perhaps she’ll weep for me


C
Well, she told me that
       F
She dearly loved me
C              G
Oh my lord how can it be?
C                                 F
Until the angels           softly whispered,
C         G               C
“she will prove untrue to you”

C
Tomorrow was to be
      F
Our wedding day
C                            G
But oh my god               Where can she be? 
C              F
She’s out a courting with another
C      G                C
And no longer cares for me
