The Water is Wide
RI Bowman
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 both shall row, my love and I
V1
There is a ship 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
Chorus
V2
Oh love is handsome, love is fine
The sweetest flower when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like summer dew
Chorus

And both shall row, my love and I
