The Water Is Wide

The water is wide, I cannot get over
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that will carry two
And both shall row, my love and I

I leaned my back up against an oak
I thought it was a trusty tree
But first it swayed and then it broke
And so my false love did unto me

Well love is handsome and love is fine
And love's a jewel when it is new
But love grows old and it waxes cold
And fades away like the morning dew
