Oh, Lord why did you send the darkness to me?
Are the shadows forever to be?
Where's the light I'm longing to see.
Oh, love once we met by the old willow tree,
now you've gone and left nothing to me,
nothing but a sweet memory.

Oh, Willow, weep for me
willow, weep for me,
bend your branches green,
along the stream that runs to sea,
listen to my plea,
Listen 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,
hear me willow and weep for me.
Whisper to the wind,
and say that love has sinned,
to leave my heart abreaking
and making a moan,
murmur to the night,
to hide her starry light,
so none will find me sighing
and crying all alone.
Oh, weeping willow tree,
weep in sympathy,
bend your branches down
along the ground and cover me,
when the shadows fall,
bend oh willow and weep for me.

Willow, weep for me
willow, weep for me,
bend your branches green,
along the stream that runs to sea,
listen to my plea,
Listen 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,
hear me willow and weep for me.
Whisper to the wind,
and say that love has sinned,
to leave my heart abreaking
and making a moan,
murmur to the night,
to hide her starry light,
so none will find me sighing
and crying all alone.
Oh, weeping willow tree,
weep in sympathy,
bend your branches down
along the ground and cover me,
when the shadows fall,
bend oh willow and weep for me.

Oh, Lord is that sweet spell of rapture divine
that I thought would for ever be mine
never more upon me to shine?
Oh, love here I wait by the willow again
with a heart that knows nothing but pain
but I know I'm waiting in vain!

Oh, Willow, weep for me
willow, weep for me,
bend your branches green,
along the stream that runs to sea,
listen to my plea,
Listen 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,
hear me willow and weep for me.
Whisper to the wind,
and say that love has sinned,
to leave my heart abreaking
and making a moan,
murmur to the night,
to hide her starry light,
so none will find me sighing
and crying all alone.
Oh, weeping willow tree,
weep in sympathy,
bend your branches down
along the ground and cover me,
when the shadows fall,
bend oh willow and weep for me.

Willow, weep for me
willow, weep for me,
bend your branches green,
along the stream that runs to sea,
listen to my plea,
Listen 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,
hear me willow and weep for me.
Whisper to the wind,
and say that love has sinned,
to leave my heart abreaking
and making a moan,
murmur to the night,
to hide her starry light,
so none will find me sighing
and crying all alone.
Oh, weeping willow tree,
weep in sympathy,
bend your branches down
along the ground and cover me,
when the shadows fall,
bend oh willow and weep for me.
