¶Liedtext

O waly, waly, up the bank, And waly, waly, doun the brae, And waly, waly, yon burn-side, Where I and my Love wont to gae! I leant my back unto an aik, I thocht it was a trustie tree; But first it bow’d and syne it brak— Sae my true love did lichtlie me. O waly, waly, gin love be bonnie A little time while it is new! But when ’tis auld it waxeth cauld, And fades awa’ like morning dew. O wherefore should I busk my heid, Or wherefore should I kame my hair? For my true Love has me forsook, And says he’ll never lo’e me mair. 17th Cent.
