Текст песни The Water Is Wide

O' the water is deep

I can't swim o'er

And neither have I wings to fly

Build me a boat that can carry two

And both shall row my love and I

There is a ship that sails the seas

She sails so deep as deep can be

But not so deep as the love I'm in

I know not how I'll sink or swim

I leant my back against an oak

Thinking it was the strongest tree

But first it bent and then it broke

And that's the way love treated me

Oh love is handsome and love is kind

Gay as a jewel when first it's new

But as love grows old then twice as cold

And fades away like morning dew

O' the water is deep

I can't swim o'er

And neither have I wings to fly

Build me a boat that can carry two

Both shall row my love and I
