| Cottonwood Tree Why is this trail so sad and lonely The tale is of a faded love One that will never come again Under moon and stars above Oh, bury me 'neath the cottonwood Under the cottonwood tree For she must not have understood How much she meant to me I heard her say that she loved me How could I see her words untrue The cottonwood tree has whispered Her false love wasn't meant for you Oh, bury me 'neath the cottonwood Under the cottonwood tree For she must not have understood How much she meant to me Tomorrow was our marriage day On what lost trail could she be Her carriage has gone another way She's withdrawn her love from me Oh, bury me 'neath the cottonwood Under the cottonwood tree For she must not have understood How much she meant to me Oh, bury me 'neath the cottonwood tree Poem/song by Larry W.
