I. Well love is ...etc...
Verse:
The water is wide, I can`t cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I.
Well love is gentle, and love is kind
The sweetest flower when first it`s new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away, like mornin` dew.
Instrumental
There is a ship, and she sails the sea
She`s loaded deep as deep can be
But not as deep as the love I`m in
I know not how, I sink or swim.
Repeat first verse.
