Willow, weep for me

Willow, weep for me
Willow, weep for me
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-breaking, and making a moan
Murmur to the night to hide her starry light
So none will see me sighing and crying all alone

Oh weeping willow tree
Weep in sympathy
Bend your branches down
Along the ground and cover me

I say when the shadows fall
Won’t you bend then willow and weep for me

Oh, weepin’ willow tree
Weep in sympathy
Bend your branches down
Along the ground and cover me

When the shadows fall
Bend, oh willow, and weep for me
