Oh, willow weep for me
Weeping willow tree
Bend your branches green
Along the stream
That runs to sea
Listen to my plea
Listen willow and weep for me
Gone my lovers dream
Lovely summer dream
Gone and left me here to weep my tears into the stream
Sad as I can be
Hear me willow and weep for me
Whisper to the wind
And say that love has sinned
To leave my heart a breakin' and a makin' a moan
Murmur to the night
To hide her starry light
So none will find me sighing here and crying all alone
Oh, weeping willow tree
Weeping sympathy
Bend your branches down along the ground
And cover me
When the shadows fall
Bend, oh, willow and weep for me
Oh, weeping willow tree
Weeping sympathy
Bend your branches down
Along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall
Bend, oh, willow and weep for me
Gone my lovers dream
Lovely summer's dream
