Weeping Willow Lyrics
As I say, that was in 1927, the second day of August.
I'll never forget it.
My heart is sad, and I'm in sorrow
For the only one I love
When shall I see him? Oh, no, never
'Til I meet him in heaven above
Oh, bury me under the Weeping Willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
Perhaps will weep over me
They told me that he did not love me
I could hardly believe it was true
Until an angel softly whispered
"He has proven untrue to you"
Oh, bury me under the Weeping Willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
Perhaps he will weep over me
And perhaps he will weep over me
Tomorrow was our wedding day
But no, Lord, where is he?
He's gone and found him another bride
And he cares no more for me
Oh, bury me under the Weeping Willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps will weep over me
And perhaps will weep over me
Bury me under the violets blue
To prove my love to him
Tell him that I'd die for him
His love I never could win
Bury me under the Weeping Willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps will weep over me
And perhaps will weep over me
And perhaps will weep over me
And perhaps will weep over me
I'll never forget it.
For the only one I love
When shall I see him? Oh, no, never
'Til I meet him in heaven above
So he may know where I am sleeping
Perhaps will weep over me
I could hardly believe it was true
Until an angel softly whispered
"He has proven untrue to you"
So he may know where I am sleeping
Perhaps he will weep over me
And perhaps he will weep over me
But no, Lord, where is he?
He's gone and found him another bride
And he cares no more for me
So he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps will weep over me
And perhaps will weep over me
To prove my love to him
Tell him that I'd die for him
His love I never could win
So he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps will weep over me
And perhaps will weep over me
And perhaps will weep over me
And perhaps will weep over me

I can relate to this song. This song reminds me of my first boyfriend and first love. I married him but it did not last long. He treated me like shit but I never left because I loved him so much, I created the wrong concept of what love is. The funny thing is that the day before we got married he had decided not to marry me, I was crying and driving and this song came on. "Tomorrow was our wedding day, and Lord where is he?" We did get married and he left me for some chick in the military that was his friend. I wish I had listened to those people that said "He has proven untrue to you". Would have save me all the heartache and pain. I was young and naive, but I did learn so much.
