WHEN COCKLESHELLS TURN SILVER BELLS (Waly, Waly) When cockleshells turn silver bells, And mussels grow on ev'ry tree; When roses grow midst winter's snow Then will my love return to me. cho: O waly, waly, but love is bonnie A little time when it is new. But when it's old, it groweth cold And fades away like morning dew. O had I wist, before I kissed That love had been so ill to win; I'd locked my heart in case of gold And pinned it with a silver pin. Note: Still another yet of the Waly, or Water is Wide variations. This one is English, early 17'th century and pretty. Words from different versions seem to be interchangeable.
