《The Water Is Wide》的歌詞如下:
The water is wide,
I cannot cross over,
I cannot get over,
Oh, no,
My love, my love,
You know what I'm saying,
Oh, no,
The water is wide.
Now I'm far away from my home,
And I'm lost and alone,
Oh, no,
My love, my love,
You know what I'm saying,
Oh, no,
The water is wide.
But hear me one moment more,
I'll sing you a song or two,
Oh, no,
My love, my love,
You know what I'm saying,
Oh, yes,
The water is wide.
Oh, there's a tavern not far from here,
I'll wager a dollar to bear,
Oh, no,
My love, my love,
You know what I'm saying,
Oh yes,
The water is wide.
If you'll let me come to my home,
And I'll stay there for a while so long as you want me to stay here,
I will surely prove my love for you true. Oh no no no no no.
The water is wide.
