THE WATER IS WIDE
I CANNOT GET O'ER
AND NEITHER HAVE
I WINGS TO FLY
GIVE ME A BOAT
THAT CAN CARRY TWO
AND BOTH SHALL ROW
MY LOVE AND I
OH LOVE IS HANDSOME
AND LOVE IS FINE
AND LOVE'S A JEWEL
WHEN IT'S FIRST NEW
BUT LOVE GROWS OLD
AND 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 MY LOVE FOR HIM
I KNOW NOT IF
I SINK OR SWIM
THE WATER IS WIDE
I CANNOT GET O'ER
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...
