Am F G
She's loaded deep, as deep can be,
C Am C
But not as deep as the love I'm in.
Am G Am C
I know not if I sink or swim.
C Am G
I leaned my back against an oak,
Am F G
Thinking it was a trusty tree.
C Am C
But first it bent, and then it broke,
Am G Am C
Just as my love grew false to me.
C Am G
Oh, love is gentle and love is kind.
Am F G
The sweetest flower when first it's new.
C Am C
But love grows old and waxes cold,
Am G Am C
And fades away like the mornin' dew.
C Am G
The water is wide, I cannot get o'er.
Am F G
Neither have I the wings to fly.
C Am C
Give me a boat that can carry two,
Am G Am C
And both shall row, my love and I.
