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 is
And she sails the sea
She's loaded deep
As deep can be
But not so deep
As the love I'm in love finding
I know not if
I sink or swim
When cockles shell
Turn silver bell
Then will my love come back to me
When roses bloom
And winters bloom
Then will my love return to me
Then will my love return to me
Return, return you to me
