False Love lyrics

Artist  : Odetta 
Song : False Love



 Send "False Love" Ringtone to your Cell 

 												
														   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 I



Oh
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
