Waly Waly Lyrics

Maireid Sullivan Waly Waly

VERSE 1
There is a ship, and she sails the sea
She's loaded deep, as deep can be
But not as deep as the love I'm in
I know not how I sink or swim

The water is wide I cannot cross o'er
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I

I leaned my back up against an oak
Thinking it was a trusty tree
But first it swayed, and then it broke
And so did my true love to me

Oh, love is handsome, and love is fine
Bright as a jewel when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like the morning dew
