DON'T YOU WEEP AFTER ME

(learned from Pete Seeger At Greenwich Village LP record)

(music to go here)

When I'm dead and buried, don't you weep after me,
When I'm dead and buried, don't you weep after me,
When I'm dead and buried, don't you weep after me,
I don't want you to weep after me.

We are crossing Jordan's river, don't you weep after me///
I don't want you to weep after me.

Tell my dear old mother, don't you weep after me///
I don't want you to weep after me.

I'll be with you when you're singing, don't you weep after me///
I don't want you to weep after me.

(repeat first verse)
