3    5   -5  5  -4  4 -4  4   -3”
6    8   -9  8  -8  7 -8  7   -6
My heart is sad and I am lone-ly, 

  3    4  5   5  -5  5  -4
  6    7  8   8  -9  8  -8
Think-ing of the one I love. 

3  5  -5  5  -4  4    -4    4  -3”
6  8  -9  8  -8  7    -8    7  -6
I know I nev-er more shall see him

 3   4   -4  -4  5    -4  4
 6   7   -8  -8  8    -8  7
Till we meet in heav’n a-bove

3   5 -5 5  -4   4   -4   4  -3”
6   8 -9 8  -8   7   -8   7  -6
So bur-y me be-neath the wil-low

   3    4   5    5  -5   5   -4
   6    7   8    8  -9   8   -8
‘Neath the weep-ing wil-low tree

 3   5   -5   5    -4   4 -4   4   -3”
 6   8   -9   8    -8   7 -8   7   -6
And when he knows where I am sleep-ing

 3    4   -4   -4    5   -4  4
 6    7   -8   -8    8   -8  7
Then per-haps he’ll weep for me
