The Water Is Wide

The water is wide I cannot swim ore And neither have I The wings to fly Give me a boat That can carry two And we both shall row My true love and I A ship there is And she sails the seas She's laden deep As deep can be But not so deep As the love I'm in And I know not if I sink or swim I leaned my back Against a young oak Thinkin he was A trusty tree But first he bended And then he broke Thus did my love Prove false to me Oh love is handsome And love is kind Bright as a jewl When first it's new But love grows old And waxes cold And fades away Like the morning dew And fades away Like the morning dew
