Under the willow she's laid with care,

Under the willow with golden hair,

Fair, fair, and golden hair,

Under the willow she's sleeping
Verse 2:
Under the willow no songs are heard,
Near where my darling lies dreaming
Nought but the voice of some far off bird
Where life and its pleasures are beaming.
Verse 3
Under the willow by night and day,
Sorrowing ever I ponder;
Free from its shadowy, gloomy ray,
Ah! never again can she wander.
Verse 4
Under the willow I breathe a prayer,
Longing to linger forever
Near to my angel with golden hair,
In lands where there's sorrowing never.
