[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Don't you break my heart
Don't you break my heart

[Verse 2]
I put my hand in, into the bush
Finding the sweetest, sweetest rose
I pricked my finger deep to the line
And left the sweetest rose, sweetest rose behind

[Chorus]
Don't you break my heart
Don't you break my heart

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Don't you break my heart
Don't you break my heart

[Outro]
Thousands and thousands all on this Earth
