The water is wide I can't cross 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 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 O 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
