[ti:O, Waly Waly] [ar:John Langstaff] [al:The Water is Wide: American and British Ballads and Folksongs] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]O, Waly Waly - John Langstaff [00:04.41]The water is wide I cannot get over [00:10.89] [00:11.58]And neither have I wings to fly [00:18.59]Give me a boat that will carry two [00:25.60]And both shall row my love and I [00:34.65] [00:35.96]O down in the meadows the other day [00:42.04]A-gathering flowers both fine and gay [00:48.15]A-gathering flowers both red and blue [00:55.19]I little thought what love can do [01:03.41] [01:04.67]I put my hand into one soft bush [01:10.82]Thinking the sweetest flower to find [01:17.00]I pricked my finger to the bone [01:24.00] [01:24.55]And left the sweetest flower alone [01:32.84] [01:34.76]A ship there is and she sails the sea [01:41.18]She's loaded deep as deep can be [01:48.65]But not so deep as the love I'm in [01:55.85]I know not if I sink or swim [02:04.53] [02:06.85]O love is handsome and love is fine [02:12.49] [02:13.04]And love's a jewel while it is new [02:19.56]But when it is old it groweth cold [02:27.23]And fades away like morning dew
