This song has been discussed rather a lot in the past; here are links to some of the threads:  here, here, here,   here, and  here.

By "notes", do you mean notation for the tune?  I think at least one of those threads has a source for that.

Hi - we have several versions of the words and tune of "Water Is Wide" here in the Digital Tradition Folk Song Database. If you put [water is wide] in the blue search box (in square brackets to find an exact pharase), you'll get these (click).
