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

O, down in the meadows the other day,
A gath'ring flowers both fine and gay,
A gath'ring flowers both red and blue,
I little thought what love can do

I leaned my back up against some oak
Thinking that he was a trusty tree
But first he bended and then he broke,
And so did my false love to me

A ship there is 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 if I sink or swim

O, love is handsome and love is fine,
And love's a jewel while it is new,
But when it is old, it groweth cold,
And fades away like morning dew.
