There is a ship with lyrics ( cover of a traditional folk song )

I love the simplicity of this song yet the melody has a yearning, a longing and the meaning is deep.
Thank you to Spike who is playing the mandolin.
The folk song that begins with the lyrics "There is a ship that sails the sea" is also known as "The Water is Wide." " and as "O Waly, Waly," it is a traditional Scottish folk song that has been covered by many artists over the years. The song's lyrics often vary slightly depending on the version.
Thank you to Vidar Nordli Mathisen for the image.
Lyrics :
[Verse 1]
There is a ship and she sails the sea
She's loaded deep, as deep can be
But not as deep as the love I'm in
I know how I'll sink or swim
[Verse 2]
I leaned my back against an oak
Thinking it was a trusty tree
But first it bent and then it broke
Just as my love proved false to me
[Verse 3]
Oh, love is gentle, and love is kind
The sweetest flower when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like the mornin' dew
[Verse 4]
The water is wide, I cannot get o'er
Neither have I the wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I

Hello Hanorah, I love this song I sing it in French version Greame Alwright or Renaud and of course the traditional version with different versions of lyrics. This is a very nice version that you made and I really like it. Nice summer.
