Traditional
Arrangement Roy Zimmerman © 1988

(From "The Best of the Foremen")

Dedicated to the memory of Dana Ferris, one of the first four.

Roy, Stevie, Dana, Denny, 1988:

The Water is Wide
I cannot get o'er
Neither have I
The wings to fly

Give me a boat
That can carry two
And both shall row,
My Love and I

Roy, D.C., Doug, Denny 1991:

I lean my back
Against an oak
Thinking it was
A trusty tree

But first it bent
And then it broke
As my true love
Proved false to me

Guitar solo: Stevie Coyle 2006

Spoken Interlude: Announcer at The San Pedro Breakfast Club, 1988

D.C. 1991:

The Water is Wide
I cannot get o'er
Neither have I
The wings to fly

Give me a boat
That shall carry two
And both shall row,
My Love and I

Roy, Stevie, Dana, Denny, 1988:

And both shall row,
My Love and I
