I went down to the river sat beneath the willow tree

The dew dropped on those willow leaves and it rolled right down on me

And that's the reason I've got those weepin' willow blues

I went up on the mountain high as any stand

And looked down on the mean town that took away my lovin' man

And that's the reason I've got those weepin' willow blues

I heard the whistle blowin' the fireman ring the bell

They're takin' away my willow tree that give me this weepin' spell

And that's the reason I've got those weepin' willow blues

When you're broken hearted and your man is out of town

Go to the river take the chains and sit down

And if he don't come back to you I'll tell you what to do

Just jump right overboard 'cause he ain't no more to you

Folks I love my man I kiss him mornin' noon and night

I wash his clothes and keep him clean and try to treat him right

Now he's gone and left me after all I tried to do

The way he treats me he'll do the very same to you

That's the reason I've got those weepin' willow blues
