Lyrics
[Verse 1] The water is wide and I can't cross over Had I wings that I could fly Build me a boat that could carry two And both shall row my love and I [Verse 2] There is a ship and she sails on the sea She's loaded down as deep can be But not as deep as the love I'm in And I know not if I sink or swim [Verse 3] I leaned my back up against an Oak Thinkin' it was a trusty tree But first it bent and then it broke Just like my own false love to me [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] Oh, love is gentle and love is kind Gay as a jewel when first it's new But love grows old and waxes cold And fades away like the morning dew [Verse 5] The water is wide and I can't cross over Had I wings that I could fly Build me a boat that could carry two And both shall row my love and I
