The water is wide, I cannot 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

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
And I know not if I sink or swim

I leant my back against an oak
Thinking it was a trusty tree
But first it bent and then it broke
Just as my love proved false to me

O love is handsome and love is fine
The brightest jewel when first it is new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like the morning dew

The water is wide, I cannot 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
