O Waly, Waly (Arr. Benjamin Britten) - Yvonne Kenny/Caroline Almonte[00:00:00]
Written by:Peter Seeger[00:00:02]
The water is wide I cannot get o'er[00:00:06]
And neither have I wings to fly[00:00:15]
Give me a boat that will carry two[00:00:23]
And both shall row my love and I[00:00:32]
O down in the meadows the other day[00:00:45]
A gath'ring flowers both fine and gay[00:00:52]
A gath'ring flowers both red and blue[00:01:01]
I little thought what love can do[00:01:10]
I leaned my back against some oak[00:01:27]
Thinking that he was a trusty tree[00:01:35]
But first he bended and then he broke[00:01:43]
And so did my false love to me[00:01:52]
A ship there is and she sails the sea[00:02:05]
She's loaded deep as deep can be[00:02:13]
But not so deep as the love I'm in[00:02:21]
I know not if I sink or swim[00:02:30]
O love is handsome and love is fine[00:02:48]
And love's a jewel while it is new[00:02:56]
But when it is old it groweth cold[00:03:05]
And fades away like morning dew[00:03:15]
