Willow weep for me

Willow weep for me

Bend your branches green along the stream that runs to sea

Listen to my plea

Hear me 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

Left my heart a-breaking, and making a moan

Murmur to the night to hide its starry light

So none will see me sighing and crying all alone

 

Weeping willow tree

Weep in sympathy

Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me

When the shadows fall, hear me willow and weep for me

 

Oh, Weeping willow tree

Weep in sympathy

Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me

When the shadows fall, hear me willow and weep for me
