The Water Is Wide |
| The water is wide, I can’t swim over |
| 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, it sails on the sea |
| Out on the deep as deep can be But not as deep as the love I’m in And on that boat I’ll sink or swim |
| I leaned my back up against that boat |
| 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, and love is kind |
| Gay as a jewel, when first it’s new |
| When love grows old, still it carries on But it sometimes fades like the morning dew |
| The water is wide, I can’t swim 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 |
