Hear the Willow Cry Lyrics

Chorus/ Intro
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!

Verse 1
Ain't no redemption for the thing that I have done.
Devil owned you once the bullets left the gun.
All I can think of with this rope around my neck,
is I'd be much obliged if you'd grant me one request!

Chorus:
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!

Verse 2
My soul's as black as coal
an' I walk the streets at night!
an' In my heart I knew that something wasnt right!
And, I went crazy when I found her with that man!
But I felt better once the blood was on my hands!

Chorus:
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!

Chorus
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!
