Willow weep for me,
Willow weep for me,
Bend your branches down
Along the stream that runs to sea.
When the shadows fall,
Bend oh 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,
Bend oh willow and weep for me.

Whisper to the wind
To say that love has sinned
To leave my heart a-breaking
And aching for more,
Murmur to the night
To hide her starry light
So none will find me crying
And sighing all alone.

Oh willow weep for me!
Oh willow weep for me!
Won't you bend your branches down
Along the ground and cover me?
When the shadows fall,
Bend oh willow and weep for me.

I said willow won't you weep for me?
I said willow won't you weep for me?
