The Water Is Wide / Deep River — Barbra Streisand

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
