The Water Is Wide

The water is wide I cannot get over

And neither have I wings to fly

Give me a boat that can carry two

And both shall row my love and I



Oh love is handsome and love is fine

And love's a jewel when it's first new

But love grows old and waxes cold

And fades away like morning dew



There is a ship it's sailing the sea

It's loaded deep as deep can be

But not so deep as my love for him

I know not if I sink or swim



The water is wide I cannot get over

And neither have I wings to fly

Give me a boat that can carry two

And both shall row my love and I



And both shall row my love and I
