During The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Dolly Parton explains about the title of her book Songteller and sings a song her mother used to sing to her. Stephen Colbert tears up moved by Dolly Parton’s rendition of Bury me under the weeping willow tree originally by Carter Family. Dolly Parton makes Stephen Colbert cry.

Bury me beneath the willow
under the weeping willow tree
where he may know where I am sleeping
and perhaps he’ll weep for me

. . .
But well where can he be
he’s gone to seek him another bride
he cares no more for me

Oh, bury me beneath the willow
under the weeping willow tree
where he may know where I am sleeping
and perhaps he’ll weep for me
