The water is wide I can’t get over Neither have I, the wings to fly
So, go and get me to a boat to carry both My love and I Must I be bound And she go free? Am I to love While she don’t love me? Why should I act the childish part And love a girl that breaks my heart?
There is a ship Out on the sea And loaded deep As it can be But not as deep As love am I Don’t care if I Should live or die
The water is wide I can’t get over Neither have I, the wings to fly
So, go and get me to a boat to carry both My love and I
