The Water Is Wide

Lyrics

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
 O, 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
