Waly, Waly, O Lyrics - Nana Mouskouri

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
