1
The water is wide, I cannot get o'er
2
Neither have I wings to fly
3
Give me a boat that can carry two
4
And both shall cross my true love and I
5
I lean'd my back against an oak
6
Thinking it was a mighty tree
7
But first it bent and then it broke
8
So did my love prove false to me
9
I put my hand in some soft bush
10
Thinking the sweetest flow'are to find
11
I prick'd my finger to the bone
12
And left the sweetest flow'are behind
13
O love is handsome and love is kind
14
Gay as a jewel when it is new
15
But love grows old and waxes cold
16
And fades away like the morning dew
17
The water is wide, I cannot get o'er
18
Neither have I wings to fly
19
Give me a boat that can carry two
20
And both shall cross my true love and I
