The Water Is Wide / Goodnight Irene Lyrics

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 bear
I know not if,
I'll sink or swim,
Water is wide,
And you've crossed over,
Now you have,
Those wings to fly.
Keep right a boat
That could carry two,
And now you ride
Your love and you.

Goodnight Irene, Goodnight
Goodnight Irene.
Goodnight Irene,
Sleep tight Irene,
I'll see you in my dreams.
Goodnight Irene, Sleep tight Irene,
I'll see you in my dreams.
