The Water is Wide | Family Sing Along - Muffin Songs
The Water is wide The water is wide, I can't cross over. And neither have I the wings to fly. Build me a boat that can carry two, And both shall row, my true love and I. O, down in the meadows the other day A gathering flowers both fine and gay, A gathering flowers both red and blue, I little thought what love can do. I leaned my back up against a young oak Thinking it was a trusty tree But first it bended and then it broke And did my false love to me. A ship there is and she sails the seas. She's loaded deep, as deep can be; But not so deep as the love I'm in And I know not if I sink or swim. O love is handsome and love is find Bright as a jewel while first it's new But love grows old and waxes cold And fades away like the morning dew. The water is wide, I can't cross over. And neither have I the wings to fly. Build me a boat that can carry two, And both shall row, my true love and I
