[Verse]
When cockle shells turn silver bells
Then will my love return to me
When roses blow in wintry snow
Then will my love return to me

[Chorus]
Oh waillie, waillie
But love is bonnie
A little while when it is new
But it grows old and waxeth cold
And fades away like evening dew

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Oh waillie, waillie
But love is bonnie
A little while when it is new
But it grows old and waxeth cold
And fades away like evening dew

[Instrumental]
