[Chorus]
The water is wide, I can't get over
Neither have I, the wings to fly
So go and get me to a boat
To carry both, my love and I

[Verse 1]
Must I be bound, and she go free?
Am I to love while she don't love me?
Why should I act the childish part?
And love a girl that breaks my heart?

[Verse 2]
There is a ship out on the sea
And loaded deep as it can be
But not as deep as love am I
Don't care if I should live or die

[Chorus]
The water is wide, I can't get over
Neither have I, the wings to fly
So go and get me to a boat
To carry both, my love and I

To carry both, my love and I
