  36 The water is wide and I can't cross over

  44 There is a ship and it sails on the sea
  45 Loaded deep as deep can be
  46 But not as deep as the love I'm in
  47 I know not if I sink or swim.
  48
  49 I leaned my back up against an oak
  50 Thinkin' it was a trusty tree
  51 But first it bent and then it broke
  52 Just like my own false love to me.
  53
  54 Oh love is gentle, love is kind
  55 Gay as a jewel when first it's new
  56 But love grows old and waxes cold
  57 And fades away like some morning dew.

  59 The water is wide and I can't cross over
  60 Neither have I wings to fly
  61 Build me a boat that can carry two
  62 And both shall row my love and I.
