Nana mouskouri waly waly o lyrics

Down in the meadows the other day



A-gath-ring flowers both fine and gay



A-gath-ring flowers,both red and blue



I little thought what love could do







I leaned my back against an oak



Thinking it was a trusty tree



But first he bended,then he broke



So did my love prove false to me







Must I be bound, oh, and he go free?



Must I love one that don't love me ?



Why should I act such a childish part?



And love a man that will break my heart ?







There is a ship sailing on the sea



She's loaded deep as deep can be



But not so deep as the love I'm in



I care not if I sink or swim







Oh, love is sweet, and love is fine



And love is charming when it's true



As it grows old, it grows cold



And fades away like the morning dew
