The Water Is Wide
Joan Baez
Ton : G
GThe water is deep, IEm can't swiGm o'er
And neither Emhave IAm wings tDo fly
Build me a Gboat that can carryEm two
And both shall Grow, myC love anGd I
There is a ship that sails the sea
She sails so deep as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I'm in
I know not how I'll sink or swim
I leant my back against an oak
Thinking it was the strongest tree
But first it bent and then it broke
And that's the way love treated me
Oh love is handsome oh love is kind
Gay as a jewel when first it's new
But as love grows old then twice as cold
Then fades away like morning dew.
