    The Lyrics

    The water is wide
    I can’t cross over
    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
    And she sails the sea
    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

    Oh love is handsome
    And love is fine
    The sweetest flower
    When first it’s new
    But love grows old
    And waxes cold
    And fades away
    Like summer dew

    Build me a boat
    That can carry two
    And both shall row
    My love and i
    And both shall row
    My love and i
