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, weep for me.
Gone my lover's dream, lovely summer's dream,
Gone and left me here to weep my tears into the stream,
Sad as I can be hear me, willow, weep for me.
(Bridge:)
Whisper to the wind and say that love has sinned;
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.
Weeping willow tree, weeping sympathy,
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me;
When the shadows fall,
Bend, oh willow, and weep for me.
(Bridge)
Weeping willow tree, weeping sympathy,
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me;
When the shadows fall,
Bend, oh willow, and weep for me.
Bend your branches green along the stream that runs to sea;
Listen to my plea, listen willow, weep for me.
Gone my lover's dream, lovely summer's dream,
Gone and left me here to weep my tears into the stream,
Sad as I can be hear me, willow, weep for me.

Whisper to the wind and say that love has sinned;
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.
Weeping willow tree, weeping sympathy,
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me;
When the shadows fall,
Bend, oh willow, and weep for me.

Weeping willow tree, weeping sympathy,
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me;
When the shadows fall,
Bend, oh willow, and weep for me.
