The Water Is Wide/Deep River Lyrics by Barbra Streisand
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
The water is wide
I cannot cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that will carry two
And both shall row
My love and I

There is a ship
And she sails the sea
She's loaded deep, as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I'm in
I know not how I sink or swim
Deep river
My home is over Jordan
Deep river, Lord
I want to cross over into campground

Deep river
My home is over Jordan
Deep river, Lord
I want to cross over into campground

Oh, don't you want to go
To that gospel feast
That promised land,
Where all is peace

Deep river, Lord
I want to cross over into campground
The water is wide
I cannot cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that will carry two
And both shall row
My love and I
And both shall row
My love and I
The water is wide   I cannot cross over   And neither have I wings to fly   Build me a boat that will carry two   And both shall row   My love and I      There is a ship   And she sails the sea   She's loaded deep, as deep can be   But not so deep as the love I'm in   I know not how I sink or swim   Deep river   My home is over Jordan   Deep river, Lord   I want to cross over into campground      Deep river   My home is over Jordan   Deep river, Lord   I want to cross over into campground      Oh, don't you want to go   To that gospel feast   That promised land,   Where all is peace      Deep river, Lord   I want to cross over into campground   The water is wide   I cannot cross over   And neither have I wings to fly   Build me a boat that will carry two   And both shall row   My love and I   And both shall row   My love and I
