Water Is Wide lyrics

The water is wide. I can't get 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

Oh, love is hansome and love is fine
fresh as a jewel when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like summer dew

A ship there is that sails the sea
She's loaded deep as deep can be
But not as deep as the love I'm in
with faith our love will never end

The water is wide. I can't get 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
