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 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
