The Water is Wide

The Water is Wide Lyrics & Chords

This tune is from the year 1724, under the title of “Waly Waly”… Shortly thereafter the title changed to “The Water is Wide” The title has changed a few times…But…The melody remains the same……… Some of the lyrics….

The water is wide-
I cant get over
Nor have I wings-
with which to fly.
Give me a boat-
that can carry two-
We both shall row-My love and I.
