[Verse 1: Bob Dylan & Joan Baez]
The water is wide and I can't cross over
Build me wings and I could fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I

[Verse 2: Bob Dylan & Joan Baez]
There is a ship and it sails on the sea
Loaded deep as deep can be
But not as deep as the love I'm in
I know not if I sink or swim

[Verse 3: Bob Dylan & Joan Baez]
I leaned my back up against an oak
Thinking it was a trusty tree
But first it bent and then it broke
Just like my own false love to me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5: Bob Dylan & Joan Baez]
Oh love is gentle, love is kind
Gay as a jewel when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like some morning dew
[Verse 6: Bob Dylan & Joan Baez]
The water is wide and I can't cross over
Neither have I wings that I could fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I
