The Water is Wide....

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

Where love is planted O there it grows, It grows and blossoms like a rose,

It has a sweet and pleasant smell, No flower on Earth can it excel

A ship there is 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 if I sink or swim

O love is handsome and love is fine, And love's a jewel while it is new,

But when it is old it grows so cold,

And fades away like morning dew
