The water is wide I cannot swim ore and neither have I the wings to fly give me a boat that can carry two and we both shall row my true love and I A ship there is and she sails the seas she's laden deep as deep can be but not so deep as the love I'm in and I know not if i sink or swim I leaned my back against a young oak thinkin he was a trusty tree but first he bended and then he broke thus did my love prove false to me Oh love is handsome and love is kind bright as a jewl when first it's new but love grows old and waxes cold and fades away like the morning dew and fades away like the morning dew
