[INTRO:]
[1.]
The water is wide, I can't cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
[2.]
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
[3.]
Oh, love is handsome and love is fine
The sweetest flower when first it's new
but love grows old and waxes cold
and fades away like summer dew
[SOLO :]
[4.]
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
And both shall row, my love and I
