The water is wide I can not cross over
Em DAnd neither have I wings to fly
G Bm Em CBut build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall roam my love and I
G C GA ship there is and she sails the sea
Em DSailing as deep as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I am in
Am D GI know not how I sink or swim
G C GI leaned my back against some young oak
Thinking that he was a trusty tree
G Bm Em CBut first he bent and then he broke
Am D GAnd thus did my false love and me
