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 is sin

To leave my heart a-breaking, and 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 tree

Weeping sympathy

Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me

When the shadows fall, bend over willow and 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 is sin

And leave my heart a-breaking, and making a moan

Murmur to the night to hide her starry light

So none will find me sighing and crying all alone

Weeping willow tree

Weeping sympathy

Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me

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

Willow...

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 is sin

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

Murmur to the night to hide her starry light

So none will find me sighing and crying all alone

Weeping willow tree

Weeping sympathy

Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me

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