Lyrics Barbra Streisand

Barbra Streisand

The Water Is Wide/Deep River

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

Shes loaded deep

As deep can be

But not so deep

As the love Im 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

Mmm, 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

For 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

And both shall row

And both shall row

My love and i
