Intro: Must I go bound and you so free Must I love one who doesn't love me Must I be born with so little art As to love a one who would break my heart Verso 1: I put my finger into a bush I thought I'd find a lovely flower The thorn it pierced me to a touch And so I left the rose behind Verso 2: I leaned my back up against some oak I thought it was a trusty tree But first it bended and then it broke And so did my false love to me Must I go bound and you so free Must I love one who doesn't love me Must I be born with so little art As to love a one who would break my heart Verso 3: There is a ship that sails the sea It's loaded down as deep can be But not so deep as the love I'm in I know not ere I sink or swim Verso 4: Oh, love be gentle and love be kind Gay as a jewel when first it's new But love grows old and then grows cold And fades away like the morning dew Must I go bound and you so free Must I love one who doesn't love me Must I be born with so little art As to love a one who would break my heart Outro
