[Refrão]
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
My soul turned black as coal
When I walked the streets at night
'Cause in my heart I knew that something wasn't right
And I went crazy when I found her with that man
But I felt better once the blood was on my hands
[Refrão]
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
