• O Waly, O Waly

O waly, o waly, how love is bonnie,
O wee little time while it is new!
But when it's old it waxes cold,
And fades like the morning dew.

Oh, why should I wear my crumbled<...>,
Or why should I comb my hair?
When my true love has me forgot,
'Cause she thinks me no longer fair.

O waly, o waly, the forest was bonnie,
And soft was the grass there below.
O waly, waly, the yon hill side,
Where I and my love used to go.

O <...> wind when wilt thou blow?
Or raven when will <...>?
O gentle death, when wilt thou come?
'Cause my live is a wee thing.

If I had known before I kissed
That love was so hard to win,
I'd lock'd my heart in a golden box,
<...> with the silver pin.

'Tis not the frost, that freezes all,
Or the bitter snaw's inclemency,
No never a one could make me cry,
But my love's heart <...> cold to me.
