The Water Is Wide
The water is wide, I cannot cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
There is a ship, 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 how, I sink or swim
Oh, love is handsome, love is fine
The sweetest flower, when first it is new
But love grows old, and waxes cold
And fades away, like summer dew
D G D Bm G A
Build me a boat That can carry two
And both shall row My love and I
And both shall row My love and I
