The Water Is Wide
The water is wide I can not get o'erAnd neither have I wings to flyGive me a boat that will carry twoAnd both shall row my love and IWhere love is planted O there it growsIt grows and blossoms like a roseIt has a sweet and pleasant smellNo flower on Earth can it excelA ship there is and she sails the seaShe's loaded deep as deep can beBut not so deep as the love I'm inI know not if I sink or swimO love is handsome and love is fineAnd love's a jewel while it is newBut when it is old it grows so coldAnd fades away like morning dew
