[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 1]
Ain't no redemption for the things that I have done
The devil owns you once the bullet's left the gun
All I can think of with this rope around my neck
Is I'd be much abliged if you 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 turned black as coal when I walked the streets at night
'Cause in my heart, I knew that somethin' 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
[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
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 things that I have done
The devil owns you once the bullet's left the gun
All I can think of with this rope around my neck
Is I'd be much abliged if you 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 turned black as coal when I walked the streets at night
'Cause in my heart, I knew that somethin' 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
[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
