W: W:There is a ship and she sails the sea, W:She's loaded deep as deep can be, W:But not so deep as the love I'm in, W:I know not how to sink or swim. W: W:I leaned my back against an oak, W:Thinking it was the strongest tree, W:But first it bent and then it broke, W:And that's the way love treated me. W: W:For love is handsome and love is fine, W:The sweetest flower that ever grew, * W:But love grows old and waxes cold, W:And fades away like summer dew. W: W:When salt sea turns far inland, W:And mussels grow on every tree, W:When cockle shells make Christmas bells, W:Then would I lose my love for thee. W: W:* or: And love's a jewel, when first it's new,
