Water Is Wide Paroles

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 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
