- cifra   
  
      
   The water is wide I can not 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
 
  
  A ship there is and she sails the sea
 
 Sailing as deep as deep can be
 
 But not so deep as the love I am in
 
 I know not how I sink or swim
  
 
 I leaned my back against some young oak
 
 Thinking that 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 can not 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
