|
The water is wide, |
|
I can't cross o'er, |
|
And neither have |
|
I the wings to fly. |
|
Give me a boat, that will carry two, |
|
And both shall row, my love and |
|
I.Oh love is handsome, and love is kind, |
|
Shining bright like a jewel, when first its new; |
|
But love grows old, and waxes cold, |
|
And fades away, like morning dew. |
|
There is a ship, and she sails the sea, |
|
She's loaded deep, as deep can be, |
|
But not as deep as the love |
|
I'm in.I know not if |
|
I sink or swim. |
|
The water is wide, |
|
I can't cross o'er, |
|
And neither have |
|
I the wings to fly. |
|
Give me a boat, that will carry two, |
|
And both shall row, my love and |
|
I. |
