The Water Is Wide |
| The water is wide, I can’t cross over, and neither have I wings to fly. |
| Build me a boat that can carry two and both shall row, my love and I. |
| There is a ship and she sails the sea. |
| She’s loaded deep, as deep can be. |
| But not so deep as the love I’m in, I know not how I sink or swim. |
| Oh love is handsome and love is fine, the sweetest flower when first it’s new. |
| But love grows old and waxes cold and fades away like Summer dew. |
| Build me a boat that can carry two and both shall row, my love and I, |
| And both shall row, my love and I. |
