     D          G              D
The water is wide, I cannot cross over 
     Bm       Em            A
And neither have I wings to fly
      F#m          Bm         G 
Give me a boat that can carry two
      A                    D
And both shall row, my love and I

     D               G              D
A ship there Is, and she sails the sea
      Bm       Em        A
She's loaded deep as deep can be
    F#m           Bm            G
But not so deep as the love I'm in
     A                       D
And I know not how, I sink or swim

     D           G           D
I leaned my back against An oak
     Bm          Em          A
Thinking It was a trusty tree
     F#m         Em         A
But first It bended and then It broke
     A                  D
And thus did my false love to me

    D           G              D
I put my hand into some soft bush
    Bm           Em             A
Thinking the sweetest flower to find
     F#m         Bm          G
I pricked my finger to the bone
     A                     D
And left the sweetest flower Behind

     D            G              D
Oh, love is handsome, love is Kind
     Bm           Em            A
Gay as a jewel, when first it’s new
     F#m         Bm            G
But love grows old, and waxes cold
     A                     D
And fades away, like Morning dew

    D     G         D
O Waly Waly Up The Bank
    Bm      Em           A
And Waly Waly Down The Braes
    F#m        Bm         G
And Waly Waly By Yon Burnside
    A                    D
Where Me &my Love Were Wont To Gae

    D           G             D
When Sea & Sand Turneth Far Inland
     Bm          Em        A
And Mussels Grow On Every Tree
     F#m         Bm             G
When Cockle Shells Turn Silver Bells
     A                 D
Then Would I Lose My Love For Thee

       D           G                D
The seagulls wheel, they turn and dive
       Bm           Em          A
The mountain stands beside the sea
        F#m            Bm           G
This world we know turns round and round
        A                     D
And all for them - and you and me
