The water is wide, I cannot get o'er,
Cnd neither have I wings to fly.
Give me a boat that will carry two,
Cnd both shall row, my love and I.
O, down in the meadows the other day,
C-gath'ring flowers both fine and gay,
C-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,
Cnd so did my false love to me.
C ship there is, and she sails the sea,
She's loaded deep, as deep can be,
But not so deep as the love I mean,
I know not if I sink or swim.
Oh love is hansome and love is fine,
And loves a jewel while it is new,
But when it is old it groweth cold,
And fades away like morning dew.

The water is wide, I cannot get o'er,
Cnd neither have I wings to fly.
Give me a boat that will carry two,
Cnd both shall row, my love and I.
O, down in the meadows the other day,
C-gath'ring flowers both fine and gay,
C-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,
Cnd so did my false love to me.
C ship there is, and she sails the sea,
She's loaded deep, as deep can be,
But not so deep as the love I mean,
I know not if I sink or swim.
Oh love is hansome and love is fine,
And loves a jewel while it is new,
But when it is old it groweth cold,
And fades away like morning dew.
Cnd neither have I wings to fly.
Give me a boat that will carry two,
Cnd both shall row, my love and I.
O, down in the meadows the other day,
C-gath'ring flowers both fine and gay,
C-gath'ring flowers both red and blue,

But first he bended, and then he broke,
Cnd so did my false love to me.

Oh love is hansome and love is fine,
And loves a jewel while it is new,
But when it is old it groweth cold,
And fades away like morning dew.
