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
