Lyrics Dinah Washington

Dinah Washington

Willow Weep for Me

Willow weep for me

Willow weep for me

Bend your branches down

along the stream that runs to the 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 hearth a-breaking, and a making a moan

Murmur to the night to hide her starry light

So none will find me sighing and crying all alone

Oh, Weeping willow tree

Weep in sympathy

Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me

When the shadows fall, bend all willow and weep for me

Whisper to the wind and say that love has sinned

To leave my hearth a-breaking, and a making a moan

Murmur to the night to hide her starry light

So none will find me sighing and crying all alone

Oh, Willow weep for me

Weep in sympathy

Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me

When the shadows fall, bend all willow and weep for me
