The Water Is Wide

The water is wide, I can't cross 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

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
But not so deep as the love I'm in
I know not if I sink or swim

The water is wide, I can't cross 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
My love and I, My love and I, My love and I...
