The Water is Wide

The water is wide, I can't 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.

A ship there is and 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 if I sink or swim.

The water is wide, I can't 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.
