The Water Is Wide (Oh, Waly, Waly) - Barbara Dickson

The water is wide, I can’t get over

Neither have I, the wings to fly

So go and get me to a boat

To carry both, my love and I

Must I be bound, and she go free?

Am I to love while she don’t love me?

Why should I act the childish part?

And love a girl that breaks my heart?

There is a ship out on the sea

And loaded deep as it can be

But not as deep as love am I

Don’t care if I should live or die

The water is wide, I can’t get over

Neither have I, the wings to fly

So go and get me to a boat

To carry both, my love and I

To carry both, my love and I
