Molly Tuttle - Bury Me Beneath the Willow (Inspired by The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes)

Lyrics

My heart is sad and I am lonely
For the only one I love
When shall I see him, oh no never
Till we meet in heaven above

Oh bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So he will know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he’ll weep for me
He told me that he dearly loved me

How could I believe it untrue
Until the angels softly whispered
He will prove untrue to you

Oh bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So he will know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he’ll weep for me

Tomorrow was our wedding day
Oh god, oh god where can he be
He’s out a courting with another
And no longer cares for me

Oh bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So he will know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he’ll weep for me

Experience the story of THE HUNGER GAMES — 64 years before Katniss Everdeen volunteered as tribute, and decades before Coriolanus Snow became the tyrannical President of Panem.

THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS & SNAKES follows a young Coriolanus (Tom Blyth) who is the last hope for his failing lineage, the once-proud Snow family that has fallen from grace in a post-war Capitol. With his livelihood threatened, Snow is reluctantly assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler), a tribute from the impoverished District 12. But after Lucy Gray’s charm captivates the audience of Panem, Snow sees an opportunity to shift their fates. With everything he has worked for hanging in the balance, Snow unites with Lucy Gray to turn the odds in their favor. Battling his instincts for both good and evil, Snow sets out on a race against time to survive and reveal if he will ultimately become a songbird or a snake.

With sweet, sweet guitar playing, and a warble in her voice, Mollie proves her talent over and over again.

I love all the melodies and covers of old folk, county, and western songs in the movie and the playlist! I do wish they would include some info about the rich history of the songs they take inspiration from/direct covers of though.
