The water is wide I cannot 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

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 cannot 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
My love and I
My love and I
My love and I
