There is A Ship
Traditional Tune: Oh Waly Waly I went to college in the '70's and this was a song that any guy who played the guitar learned quickly. It seemed to work well on the girls....
C F C
The water is wide, I cannot cross o’er
Am F G G7
And neither have I wings to fly
Em Am C F
Give me a boat that can carry two
C G C
And both shall row, my love and I.
C F C
Well love is gentle, and love is kind
Am F G G7
The sweetest flow’r when first it's new
Em Am C F
But love grows old and waxes cold
C G C
And fades away, like the mornin' dew.
C F C
There is a ship, and she sails the sea
Am F G G7
She's loaded deep as deep can be
Em Am C F
But not as deep as the love I'm in
C G C
I know not if I sink or swim.
Repeat first verse.
