Pete Seeger - Water Is Wide (O Waly Waly) songtekst
Je score:
The water is wide The water is wide, I cannot cross over And neither have I wings to fly Give me a boat that can carry two And both shall row, my love and I A ship there was and she sails the sea She's loaded deep, as deep can be But not so deep as the love I'm in And I know not how, I sink or swim I leaned my back up against some young oak Thinking he was a trusty tree But first he bended and then he broke And thus did my false love to me Oh, love is handsome, love is fine Gay as a jewel when first it is new But love grows old and waxes cold And fades away like summer dew The seagulls wheel, they turn and dive The mountain stands beside the sea This world we know turns round and round And all for them and you and me The water is wide The water is wide, I cannot cross over And neither have I wings to fly Give me a boat that can carry two And both shall row, my love and I
