The Water Is Wide - Moira Kerr
The water is wide I cannot cross o'er
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that will carry two
And we will 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
I leaned my back against an oak
Thinking it was a mighty tree
But first it bent and then it broke
Just did your love proved false to me
Oh love is spride and love is mine
And love is a jewel when it is new
But love it's old but wild so cold
And fades away like morning dew
The water is wide I cannot cross o'er
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that will carry two
And we will row my love and I
And we will row my love and I
