Verses

1. There is a ship that sails to sea,
    She's loaded deep, as deep could be,
    but not so deep as the love I'm in,
    I know now how I sink or swim.

    Chorus

2. I leaned my back against an oak,
    Thinking it was a trusty tree,
    But first it bent, and then it broke,
    As did my love prove false to me.

    Chorus

3. Oh, love is handsome, love is fine,
    The sweetest flower when first it's new
    But love grows old and waxes cold,
    And fades away like summer dew.

    Chorus
