C F
My love is dead and buried yonder
C G7
Beneath the weeping willow tree
C F
What wrecks my life and makes me wonder
C G7 C
Is because she died for me
[Chorus]
C F
Then lay me down in death beside her
C G7
For she's all this life to me
C F
That I may join and e'er caress her
C G C
In a land beyond the sea

C F
Yes, she died before I told her
C G7
That I loved her true and kind
C F
And that I did not mean to fool her
C G7 C
But she'd left me to repine
[Chorus]
C F
Then lay me down in death beside her
C G7
For she's all this life to me
C F
That I may join and e'er caress her
C G7 C
In a land beyond the sea

God, shall I ever get forgiveness
C G7
For the deeds that I have done

And meet up yonder her sweet charming
C G7 C
For I know she bids me come
[Chorus]
C F
Then lay me down in death beside her
C G7
For she's all this life to me
C F
That I may join and e'er caress her
C G7 C
In a land beyond the sea
