Down by the weeping willow
Where the flowers sweetly bloom
There sleeps the only one I love
So silent in her tomb
She died not broken hearted
No sickness she could tell
But in one moment parted
From all she loved so well
One night the moon shone brightly
And gentle zephyrs blew
Up to her house so lightly
He faithless lover drew
He said come let us wander
In those dark woods we’ll stray
And then we’ll sit and ponder
Upon our wedding day
Those woods look dark and dreary
And I’m afraid to stray
Of wandering I’m weary
So I’ll retrace my way
Those woods those gentle zephyrs
Your feet no more will roam
So say goodbye forever
To parents, friends and home
Down on her knees before him
She was beggin’ for her life
When deep into her bosom
He plunged his hunting knife
Oh William I forgive you
Was her last dying breath
Her pulses ceased in motion
Her eyes were closed in death
