VERSE 1 There is a ship, and she sails the sea She's loaded deep, as deep can be But not as deep as the love I'm in I know not how I sink or swim The water is wide I cannot cross 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 I leaned my back up against an oak
Thinking it was a trusty tree But first it swayed, and then it broke And so did my true love to me Oh, love is handsome, and love is fine Bright as a j**el when first it's new But love grows old and waxes cold And fades away like the morning dew VERSE 1
