THE WATER IS WIDE
traditional
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
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
Gentlemen, I’d like you all to realize that these young gentlemen are available for a “gig” if you have any ideas. How many people here would be interested in using them for their next home party. That’s it, we’ve got about thirty or forty hands. So again, I want to thank you, and I want to thank the group. This group is great, and you’re going to see a lot of them. All I can say is these people are really going places.
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
And both shall row, my love and I
Thank you, gentlemen. Bye bye.
