[00:00.826]The water is wide, I cannot get o'er,
[00:08.312]And neither have I wings to fly.
[00:15.303]Give me a boat that will carry two,
[00:22.852]And both shall row, my love and I.
[00:29.211]
[00:30.482]O, down in the meadows the other day,
[00:39.700]A-gath'ring flowers both fine and gay,
[00:46.336]A-gath'ring flowers both red and blue,
[00:54.548]I little thought what love can do.
[01:00.362]
[01:01.922]I leaned my back up against some oak
[01:08.906]Thinking that he was a trusty tree;
[01:15.809]But first he bended, and then he broke,
[01:22.528]And so did my false love to me.
[01:29.162]
[01:30.343]A ship there is, and she sails the sea,
[01:38.513]She's loaded deep as deep can be,
[01:44.963]But not so deep as the love I'm in;
[01:52.417]I know not if I sink or swim.
[02:00.911]
[02:02.266]O, love is handsome and love is fine,
[02:15.483]And love's a jewel while it is new,
[02:22.168]But when it is old, it groweth cold,
[02:31.746]And fades away like morning dew.

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.
