The water is wide I can't cross over
And neither have the wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
We both shall row my love and I
Oh love is gentle and love is kind
The sweetest flower
when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
and fades away like morning dew
But love grows old and waxes cold
and fades away like morning dew
There is a ship and she sails to sea
She's loaded deep deep as can be
But not as deep as the love I'm in
I know not how I sink or swim
I know not how I sink or swim
