Standard Tuning: EADGBe "Hear the Willow Cry"
CAPO 2ND FRET by the Steeldrivers
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!
