Song The Water Is Wide

Lyrics

Lyrics:Trad Music:Trad
The water is wide and I can't cross over
Neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I
Oh love is gentle, love is kind
Gay as a jewel when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like morning dew
There is a ship and it sails on the sea
Loaded deep as deep can be
But not as deep as the love I'm in
I know not if I sink or swim
The water is wide and I can't cross over
Neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I
And both shall row my love and I

The water is wide and I can' t cross over
Neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I
Oh love is gentle, love is kind
Gay as a jewel when first it' s new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like  morning dew
There is a ship and it sails on the sea
Loaded deep as deep can be
But not as deep as the love I' m in
I know not if I sink or swim
The water is wide and I can' t cross over
Neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I
And both shall row my love and I
