The water is wide

Traditional

The water is wide, I cannot get over

Neither have I wings to fly

Give me a boat that can carry two

And both shall row, my love and I.

I leaned my back against an oak

Thinking it was a mighty tree

But first it bent and then it broke

So did my love prove false to me.

A ship there is 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 if I sink or swim.

Oh love is handsome and love is fine

Shines like a jewel when first it's new

But love grows old and waxes cold 

And fades away like morning dew.
