Song: | THE WATER IS WIDE
British folk song Joan Baez Key: F 8 -8 7 -8 8 -8 7 7 -6 6 The wa-ter is wide, I can-not get o�er 7 -7 7 8 -8 -9-8 8 Neith-er have I wings to fly 8 -8-9 9 -9 -8 8 7 -8 Give me a boat that can car-ry two 8 7 -6 6 And both shall cross, 6 -6 7 8 7 my true love and I I leaned my back against an oak Thinking it was a mighty tree But first it bent and then it broke So did my love prove false to me I put my hand to some soft bush Thinking the sweetest flower to find I pricked my finger to the bone And left the sweetestest flower behind Oh love is handsome and love is kind Gay as a jewel when first it is new But love grows old and waxes cold And fades away like the morning dew |
