"Bury Me Beneath The Willow" lyrics
(originally by The Carter Family)
(from " The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes" soundtrack)
My heart is sad and I am lonely
For the only one I love
When shall I see him? Oh, no never
'Til we meet in Heaven above
Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Under the weepin' willow tree
So he will know where I am sleepin'
And perhaps, he'll weep for me
He told me that he dearly loved me
How could I believe it untrue?
Until the angel softly whispered
"He will prove untrue to you"
Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Under the weepin' willow tree
So he will know where I am sleepin'
And perhaps, he'll weep for me
Tomorrow was our wedding day
Oh God, oh God, where can he be?
He's out a-courting with another
And no longer cares for me
Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Under the weepin' willow tree
So he will know where I am sleepin'
And perhaps, he'll weep for me
For the only one I love
When shall I see him? Oh, no never
'Til we meet in Heaven above
Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Under the weepin' willow tree
So he will know where I am sleepin'
And perhaps, he'll weep for me
He told me that he dearly loved me
How could I believe it untrue?
Until the angel softly whispered
"He will prove untrue to you"
Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Under the weepin' willow tree
So he will know where I am sleepin'
And perhaps, he'll weep for me
Tomorrow was our wedding day
Oh God, oh God, where can he be?
He's out a-courting with another
And no longer cares for me
Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Under the weepin' willow tree
So he will know where I am sleepin'
And perhaps, he'll weep for me
