Willow Weep For Me

(album: Lonely Street - 1959)

Willow weep for me
Willow weep for me
Band your branches green
Along the stream
That runs to sea
Listen to my plea
Listen willow and weep for me

Gone my lover's 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
Murmer to the night
To hide her starry light
So none will find me sighing
And crying all alone

Oh, weeping willow tree
Weeping sympathy
Band your branches down
Along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall
Band old willow and weep for me

Oh, weeping weeping willow
Won't you weep for me
