[Verse 1]
When cockle shells turn to silver bells
Then will my love return to me
When roses grow in the wintery snow
Then will my love return to me

[Chorus]
Oh, waly, waly, love be bonnie
And gay as a jewel when first it's new
But love grows old, and waxes cold
And fades away like morning dew

[Verse 2]
There is a ship, it's sailing the sea
It's loaded high and as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I am in
I know not if I sink or swim

[Chorus]
Oh, waly, waly, love be bonnie
And gay as a jewel whеn first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fadеs away like morning dew
