Buffy Sainte-Marie - Must I Go Bound

[Chorus]
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 the one would break my heart

[Verse 1]
I put my finger into the bush
I thought I found 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

[Chorus]
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 thе one would break my heart

[Verse 3]
Thеre 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 e'er 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 than grows cold
And fades away like the morning dew

[Chorus]
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 the one would break my heart
