Hear The Willow Cry

Won't you bury me beneath the tree

Where my family lies, where my family lies?

Let the fog lay low on the mountain high

Hear the willow cry, hear the willow cry

Ain't no redemption for the things that I have done

The devil owns you once the bullet's left the gun

All I can think of with this rope around my neck

Is I'd be much abliged if you grant me one request

Won't you bury me beneath the tree

Where my family lies, where my family lies?

Let the fog lay low on the mountain high

Hear the willow cry, hear the willow cry

My soul turned black as coal when I walked the streets at night

'Cause in my heart, I knew that somethin' wasn't right

And I went crazy when I found her with that man

But I felt better once the blood was on my hands

Won't you bury me beneath the tree

Where my family lies, where my family lies?

Let the fog lay low on the mountain high

Hear the willow cry, hear the willow cry

Won't you bury me beneath the tree

Where my family lies, where my family lies?

Let the fog lay low on the mountain high

Hear the willow cry, hear the willow cry

Hear the willow cry, hear the willow cry
