Correct The Water Is Wide

Lyrics:
The water is wide, I can't cross o'er Nor do I have light wings to fly Build 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 And I know not how I sink or swim. I leaned my back up against an oak Thinking he was a trusty tree But first he bended, and then he broke And thus did my false love to me. I put my hand into a bush The sweetest flower there to find I pricked my finger to the bone And left the sweetest flower alone. Oh, love is handsome and love is fine It's like a gem when first it's new But love grows old and waxes cold And fades away like the morning dew.
