The water is wide I can not get o'er
|
And neither have I wings to fly
|
Give me a boat that will carry two
|
And both shall row my love and I
|
|
O love is handsome and love is fine
|
And love's a jewel when it's first new
|
But love grows old then waxes gold
|
And fades away like morning dew
|
|
There is a ship it's sailing the sea
|
It's loaded deep as deep can be
|
But not so deep as the love I'm in
|
I know not if I sink or swim
|
|
The water is wide I can not get o'er
|
And neither have I wings to fly
|
Give me a boat that will carry two
|
And both shall row my love and I
|
And both shall row my love and I
|
