W hen cockleshel ls turn t o silvery b ells
T hen will my l ove return to m e
W hen roses blo om in the wint ry snow
T hen will my love r eturn to me
O h waly waly love be Bon nie
And bri ght as a jewel when it's first ne w
But l ove grows old and wax es col d
A nd fades away like morning dew
There is a sh ip it's saili ng the sea
It's loaded high an d deep c an be
But not so deep a s my l ove for you
I know not if I'll si nk or swim
O h wal y waly love be Bon nie
An d bright as a jewel when it's fi rst new
But love g rows old and waxes c old
And fades away like morni ng dew
