Traditional Scottish Folk
The Water Is Wide (At Town Hall version)
[Intro]
Here's one of the
Guess, one of the best loved American ballads

[Chorus]
The water is wide, I cannot cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I

[Verse 1]
There is a ship, and she sails the sea
She's loaded deep as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I'm in
I know not how, I sink or swim

[Verse 2]
He's turned his back, and he's gone away
"I'll come for you another day"
But the days are long, night is longer still
My heart have I doth bide his will

[Chorus]
The water is wide, I cannot cross over
Neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
