Traditional Arr. Roger McGuinn

Album: "Roger McGuinn" - 1973

The water is wide I cannot cross over
Neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall roam my love and I

A ship there is and she sails the sea
Sailing as deep as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I'm in
And I know not how I sink or swim

Instrumental (Pedal Steel Guitar)

I leaned my back against some young oak
Thinking he was a trusty tree
But first he bent and then he broke
And thus did my false love and me

The water is wide I cannot cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall roam my love and I

(Instrumental Ending - Pedal Steel Guitar)
