about

This song exemplifies everything we search for in folk music: universal songs that transcend race, religion, and border to illuminate our shared human experience. This haunting melody has been passed down, like a precious heirloom, through the hands of generations of American artists like the Carter Family, Woody Guthrie, Doc Watson, and now APQ.

lyrics

My heart is sad and I am lonesome
For the only one I love
When will I see you, oh oh, never
Till We meet in heaven above

CHORUS:
O bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So you will know where I am sleeping
And perhaps you’ll weep for me.

You told me that you loved me dearly
How could I believe you untrue
Until an angel softly whispered
They have proven untrue to you.

Tomorrow was our wedding day
Oh god, oh god, where can you be
You’re gone, you’re gone to wed another
You no longer care for me.
