Lyrics The Water Is Wide (Oh, Waly, Waly) - Barbara Dickson

The Water Is Wide (Oh, Waly, Waly)

The water is wide, I can’t get over
Neither have I, the wings to fly
So go and get me to a boat
To carry both, my love and I
Must I be bound, and she go free?
Am I to love while she don’t love me?
Why should I act the childish part?
And love a girl that breaks my heart?
There is a ship out on the sea
And loaded deep as it can be
But not as deep as love am I
Don’t care if I should live or die
The water is wide, I can’t get over
Neither have I, the wings to fly
So go and get me to a boat
To carry both, my love and I
To carry both, my love and I
