The water is wide I can not cross over 
And neither have I wings to fly 
Build me a boat that can carry two 
And both shall roam my love and I 

A ship there is and she sails the sea 
Sailing as deep as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I am in 
I know not how I sink or swim 

I leaned my back against some young oak  
Thinking that he was a trusty tree 
But first he bent and then he broke 
And thus did my false love and me 

The water is wide I can not cross over 
And neither have I wings to fly 
Build me a boat that can carry two 
And both shall roam my love and I
