The Water Is Wide

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
