The Water Is Wide |
| The water is wide and I can’t cross over |
| Neither have I wings that I could fly |
| Build me a boat that can carry two |
| And both shall row my love and I |
| There is a ship and it sails on the sea |
| Loaded deep as deep can be |
| But not as deep as the love I’m in |
| I know not if I sink or swim |
| I leaned my back up against an oak |
| Thinking it was a trusty tree |
| But first it bent and then it broke |
| Just like my own false love to me |
| Oh love is gentle, love is kind |
| Gay as a jewel when first it’s new |
| But love grows old and waxes cold |
| And fades away like some morning dew |
