Lyrics - The Water Is Wide:
The water is wide I cannot get over
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that will carry two
And both shall row My love and I
A ship there is 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
I leaned my back up against an oak
I thought it was a trustee tree
But first it bended and then it broke
And thus my love proved false to me
I spied a flower on some soft bough
And thought to take it for my own
I cut my heart on the razor thorn
And left the sweetest flower alone
Oh love is handsome and love is fine
Gay as a jewel when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like summer dew
And fades away like summer dew
