The Water Is Wide Lyrics


The water is wide
I cannot swim ore
and neither have I
the wings to fly
give me a boat
that can carry two
and we both shall row
my true love and IA ship there is
and she sails the seas
she's laden deep
as deep can be
but not so deep
as the love I'm in
and I know not if
i sink or swimI leaned my back
against a young oak
thinkin he was
a trusty tree

but first he bended
and then he broke
thus did my love
prove false to meOh love is handsome
and love is kind
bright as a jewl
when first it's new
but love grows old
and waxes cold
and fades away
like the morning dewand fades away
like the morning dew

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
