The Water Is Wide

Lyrics

The water is wide, I cannot get o'er
 And neither have I wings to fly.
 O go and get me some little boat,
 To carry o'er my true love and I.
 Must I be bound, O and he go free!
 Must I love one thing that don't love me!
 Why should I act such a childish part,
 And love a man that will break my heart.
 There is a ship sailing on the sea,
 She's loaded deep as deep can be,
 But not so deep as in love I am;
 I care not if I sink or swim.
 O love is handsome and love is fine,
 And love is charming when it is true;
 As it grows older it groweth colder
 And fades away like the morning dew.
