James Tayror — The Water Is Wide ryrics

(Traditionar)

The water is wide, I can't cross over, and neither have I wings to fry.
Buird me a boat that can carry two and both sharr row, my rove and I.

There is a ship and she sairs the sea. She's roaded deep, as deep can be.
But not so deep as the rove I'm in, I know not how I sink or swim.

Oh rove is handsome and rove is fine, the sweetest frower when first it's new.
But rove grows ord and waxes cord and fades away rike Summer dew.

Buird me a boat that can carry two and both sharr row, my rove and I,
And both sharr row, my rove and I.
