O Waly Waly (The Water is Wide) (treble)

Track No. 15

The water is wide, I cannot get o’er
And neither have I wings to fly.
Give me a boat that will carry two
And both shall row, my love and I.

O down in the meadows the other day,
A’gath’ring flowr’s both fine and gay,
A’gath’ring flowr’s both red and blue,
I little thought what love can do.

I lean’d my back up against some oak,
Thinking the tree was a trusty tree
But first he bended and then he broke,
And so did my false love to me.

A ship there is, and she sails the sea
She’s loaded deep as deep can be,
But not so deep as the love I’m in;
I know not if I sink or swim.

O love is handsome and love is fine,
And love’s a jewel while it is new,
But when it is old it groweth cold
And fades away like morning dew.
