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 Verse 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 Verse 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 Verse 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 Verse 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
