They say that once the tear has fallen, The willow cries eternally Cry not for me, my willow tree Don't shed your tears eternally Cause I have found the love I've searched for I need your tears no more, no more So tell where, my weeping willow And if we'll ever meet again Cry not for me, my willow tree Don't shed your tears eternally Cause I have found the love I've searched for I need your tears no more, no more They say the willow cries for someone And that's when someone's heart is broken Cry not for me, my willow tree Don't shed your tears eternally Cause I have found the love I've searched for I need your tears no more, no more
Line one of verse two is actually "So fare-thee-well my weeping willow". It's an old way people used to say "farewell". And your verse three is not in this version; verse two repeats instead.
Thank you for posting the lyrics. I’ve copied them & will continue to send them forward & upward as all the masterful lyricists of that powerful set of Africans existing on Jamaican soil intended. Thank you.
I first heard this song in 1997. I believe it was Yami BOlo who did a cover. I spent possibly the next 10 -15 years searching for this song. I would find the original.. but never the version i had heard, until i found this a few yrs ago.
One of Alton's greatest songs.... listening in September 2024.
My father came into my dreams and gave me this song for my dying mother. I searched so hard to find it and l never up. Unconditional Love. 😭♥️♥️
Jah bless you!
💚💛🖤
Blessings 🙏
Bless sweetheart

A song that will never gets old
They say that once the tear has fallen,
The willow cries eternally
Cry not for me, my willow tree
Don't shed your tears eternally
Cause I have found the love I've searched for
I need your tears no more, no more
So tell where, my weeping willow
And if we'll ever meet again
Cry not for me, my willow tree
Don't shed your tears eternally
Cause I have found the love I've searched for
I need your tears no more, no more
They say the willow cries for someone
And that's when someone's heart is broken
Cry not for me, my willow tree
Don't shed your tears eternally
Cause I have found the love I've searched for
I need your tears no more, no more
