It is a very strange version. It uses almost all traditional words, but has twisted the meaning of the song to be about friendship, rather than lost love. Here it is: The water is wide, I cannot cross o'er But neither have I wings to fly Build me a boat that can carry two And both shall row, both I and you I leaned my back up against an oak Knowing it was a trusty tree It did not bow nor did not bend Such is the bond of friend to friend For friends are gentle and friends are kind Forever loyal, eternally true Bright as a rose in the morning dew Sturdy as a boat that can carry two And we shall row, both I and you Arranged, with adapted words, by Andy Beck |
