Subject: CRD: The Water Is Wide Roger McGuinn Chords/Lyrics
Roger McGuinn The Water Is Wide traditional
   
The water is wide I can not cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
But 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
From the "Roger McGuinn" LP Columbia Records 1973
