The water is wide
I can't cross o'er
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that carry two
And both shall row
My love and I
A ship there is
She sails the seas
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
How love be handsome
And love be kind
Gay as a jewel
When first it is new
But love grows out
And it waxes cold
And fades away
Like the morning dew
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row
My love and I
