| Traditional
| The water is wide
| I can't cross over
| And neither have I
| Have I wings to fly
| Oh give me a boat
| That will carry two
| And both shall row
| My Love and I
|
| Oh love is gentle
| Yes and love is kind
| The sweetest flower
| When first it's new
| But love grows old
| It waxes cold
| Then it fades away
| Like the morning dew
| Ha-ha
|
| There is a ship
| She sails the sea
| She's loaded deep
| As deep can be
| But not as deep
| As the love that I'm in
| I know not if
| I sink or swim
|
| The water is wide
| I can't cross over
| And neither have I
| Have I wings to fly
| Oh give me a boat
| That will carry two
| And both shall row
| My Love and I
|
| The water is wide
| The water is wide
| Oh the water is wide
