The Water Is Wide
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
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
Now love is handsome
And love is fine--
The sweetest flower
When first it's new...
Build me a boat
That can carry two
And both shall row
My love and I
And both shall row
My love and I
