The water is wide
I can't cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row
My love and I
Oh, love is gentle
And love is kind
The sweetest flower
When first it's new
But love grows old
And waxes cold
And fades away like morning dew
There is a ship and she sails the sea
She's loaded deep as deep can be
But not as deep as the love I'm in
I know not how
I sink or swim
** repeat
And both shall row
My love and I
