The Water Is Wide Lyrics

Chorus:
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 we shall row, my love and I

There is a ship that sails the sea
She’s loaded deep as deep can be
But not so deep as this love I’m in
I know not if I’ll sink or swim

I leaned by back against an oak
Thinking it was a trusty tree
But first it bent and then it broke
And so my false love did unto me

Chorus:
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 we shall row, my love and I

The water is wide, the water is wide
