| The Water Is Wide Lyrics |
| Mary Black |
| The water is wide, I can't cross over |
| and neither have I wings to fly |
| give me a boat that can carry two |
| and We shall row my love and I |
| For love is gentle, and love is kind |
| the sweetest flower when first it's 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 how I sink or swim |
| For love is gentle, and love is kind |
| the sweetest flower when first it's new |
| but love grows old, and waxes cold |
| and fades away like morning dew |
| The water is wide, I can't cross over |
| and neither have I wings to fly |
| give me a boat that can carry two |
| and We shall row - my love and I |
