The water is wide I can not get o'er, And neither have I wings to fly, Give me a boat that will carry two, ♪ O love is handsom and love is fine, And love's a jewel when it's first new, But love grows old then waxes gold, And fades away like morning dew, ♪ There is a ship it's sailing the sea, It's loaded deep as deep can be, But not so deep as the love I'm in, I know not if I sink or swim, The water is wide I can not get o'er, And neither have I wings to fly, Give me a boat that will carry two, And both shall row my love and I, And both shall row my love and I,
