Down in the valley, the first of May Gatherin' flowers, both fresh and gay Gatherin' flowers, both red and blue How little thought of what, what love could do Don't you break my heart Don't you break my heart I put my hand in, to the bush Finding the sweetest, sweetest rose I pricked my finger deep to the line And left the sweetest rose, sweetest rose behind Don't you break my heart Don't you break my heart ♪ Saw a ship sailin' on the big blue sea She sailed as deep as, deep as she could be But not so deep in, in love as I am I cannot whether I, I sink or swim Don't you break my heart Don't you break my heart ♪ Thousands and thousands, all on this Earth
