Among The Oak & Ash - The Water Is Wide lyrics

The water is wide I can't cross over And neither have I wings to fly Give me a boat I can carry two And both shall row, my love and I Now there's a ship And she sails the seas She's loaded deep As deep can be But not so deep As the love I'm in I know not how I sink or swim The water is wide I can't cross over And neither have I wings to fly Give me a boat I can carry two And both shall row, my love and I Love is handsome And love is fine As a j**el When first it's new But love grows old And waxes cold And fades away Like summer dew The water is wide I can't cross over And neither have I wings to fly Give me a boat I can carry two And both shall row, my love and I And both shall row, my love and I
