Tekst piosenki
The river is wide, I can't get o'er Nor do I have like wings to fly Give me a boat that can carry two,And both shall cross my love and IOh waly, waly, up the bank And waly, waly down the braes,And waly, waly by yon burnside Where me and my love was wont to go I leaned my back against an oak Thinking it was a trusty tree,But first it bent and then it broke,And so did my love prove false to me I put my hand in some soft bush Thinking the sweetest flower to find I pricked my finger to the bone And left the sweetest flower behind Oh, love is handsome, love is kind Gay as a jewel when first it's new But love grows old and waxes cold,And fades away like morning dew
