Weeping Willow

O weep, weeping willow weep,

You look so forlorn.

O weep, weeping willow weep,

You have weathered the storm.

With a heave and a sigh,

swaying as the years go by.

O weep, weeping willow weep,

Look at the leaves around your feet.

O weep, weeping willow weep,

In the cold and in the heat.

You stood the test of time

You weathered the years just fine.
