The water is wide
I can't cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I
My love is gentle and love is kind
The sweetest flower
when first it's new
When love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like morning dew
love is a share
and she sails to 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
And both shall row my love and I
