The Kingston Trio

 Not charted as a single--from their "Make Way" LP
 English folk song with modern lyrics by Ovid Young


 The river is wide, I cannot see
 Nor do I have light wings to fly
 There'll be a boat that can carry two
 And both shall row, my love and I

 My love is like the lofty tree
 It shudders fears and then sways free
 If it should fade when the summer's through
 She'll bloom again when Spring shines through

 When love is young, then love is fine
 Just like a gem when first it's new
 But love grows old and waxes cold
 And fades away like the morning dew

 The river is wide, I cannot see
 Nor do I have light wings to fly
 There'll be a boat that can carry two
 And both shall row, my love and I
