Lyrics

The water is wide an' I can't cross over
 Neither have I wings to fly
 Build me a boat that can carry two
 And both shall row my love an' I
 ♪
 There is a ship an' she sails on the sea
 Loaded deep as deep can be
 But not as deep as the love I'm in
 And know not how I sink or swim
 I leaned my back up against some oak
 Thinkin' it was a trusty tree
 But first it bent an' 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 an' waxes cold
 An' fades away like some morning dew
 The water is wide an' I can't cross over
 Neither have I wings to fly
 Build me a boat that can carry two
 And both shall row my love an' I
