John Mccutcheon - The Water is Wide lyrics

The water is wide I can't cross over And neither have I wings to fly Build 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 And love is fine The sweetest flower When first it's new But love grows old And waxes cold And fades away Like summer dew Build me a boat That can carry two And both shall row My love and i And both shall row My love and i
