Lyrics: The water is wide I cannot get over and neither have I wings to fly Give me a boat that'll carry two and both shall row my love and I

When love is planted, there it grows it grows and blossoms like a rose it has a sweet and pleasant smell no flower on earth can it excel

The 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 sing or swim

Oh, love is gentle, love is kind the sweetest flower when first is new but love grows old and waxes cold and fades away like morning dew
