Maura O'Connell ーThe Water Is Wide

[@MrLalalooney]

one of our best,love this lady

[@1950Missy]

Every time that I listen to Maura sing this I cry like a baby. Nothing else can make me cry. I am dying of cancer stage 4 and am trying to bring resolution to the close of my life. Lorraine Spence broke my heart but there is so much more. Don't wait folks until death is looking at you to bring peace into your life.

[@Rightsideup]

Judith Volborth I am inspired by your bravery!!

[@karmachochi]

+Judith Volborth Thank you for sharing life's most precious lesson. I pray you managed to find your resolution, and if you're still with us, God Speed, Judith.

[@clairyfaery]

[@maryraab9066]

God Bless you and Keep you, Judith. Live until the end. XXOO

[@jamesmurphy5585]

Reading this and listening to this song today made me cry. You wrote this a long time ago . I dont know if this journey has ended and another begun for you or not, but thankyou for the message within your words. They mean so much

[@yvonnesutherland511]

One of the most beautiful folk songs ever!

[@gaggymott9159]

A Mistress of her Art....Thank you profoundly, Maura ❤

[@maryraab9066]

Simply exquisite. Maura O'Connell, in my humble opinion, is the BEST interpreter of this song - EVER. Thank you!

[@chuckswaim]

Absolutely Beautiful!

[@lucblin5302]

So beautifull, Thank you so much !!

[@gerwynevans2729]

A song of unknown Scottish origin from the early 1600's sung movingly by the majestic Maura.

[@CaseyKCRichards]

For you Maury . Always on my mind 24/7 . You were the greatest human I had ever met . I love you v much . I can’t stop th naming of you . I dream and grieve for you everyday

[@dawnglover7007]

What an incredible voice and soul she sings with! Wow!

[@georgesmith291]

Many folks have sung this song thru the years. Maura's version blows all of them away.

[@maryraab9066]

I agree with you completely! :)

[@WailinHeino]

@@maryraab9066 So do I!

[@NigelWalton]

The music buissness today is pure rubbish. Listening to this rendition is in my opinion what music is all about beautiful meaning full lyrics sang with pure pure emotion.A master piece .RESPECT

[@RevDrMattAllen]

Nigel Walton the value of music is subjective for each listener, music cant be rated from a functionalist perspective like you would an automobile, can openet, etc

[@CaseyKCRichards]

You are right . Rubbish today . Prostituting their bodies . Not selling music but sex through videos . The Irish sing for love not $$$

[@tinketteful]

humm, she just placed that on canvas right before our ears! Took my breath away & it wasn't until almost to its end that I noticed tears streaming down the sides of my face. I don't think I've heard something this beautiful in years. P.S. someone posted that Maura needs to return to Ireland and "they" need her. Well, Maura's a perfect example of what (and who) made America great, so we'll keep her!

[@bizwiz9037]

Best version I've ever heard ...fab

[@SarahJonestoo]

Great voice. Such grace.

[@kiminbari]

when we all get to heaven, i want my tree house to be very near Maura...i think i could spend eternity basking in her voice....

[@astorrin532]

Hypnotises you, pure and gentle and sang from the heart.... one of the best pieces of music I have ever heard Thank you Maura.

[@maura1259]

Astorrin youre welcome

[@christopherpratt6715]

"The Water Is Wide" (also called "O Waly, Waly" or simply "Waly, Waly") is a folk song of Scottish origin. It remains popular in the 21st century. Cecil Sharp published the song in Folk Songs From Somerset (1906).

[@donnarepsher3474]

I love her voice--I have from first time I heard it.

[@NaliniLasiewicz]

[@beverlyjohnsondc]

[@anadefatimamatias2515]

[@benheal9086]

To think this wonder is hewn from a mere human being.

[@anadefatimamatias2515]

[@1950Missy]

Is it true the Angels speak Gaelic? Maura proves they do.

[@sylviaali9589]

[@robinmatyjasek7390]

I never thought that Judith Durham would ever be equalled singing this one, but now I'm not so sure...

[@audrus177]

@UndercoverCracker I want to thank God for it

[@price724]

Is this Irish or Scottish

[@tinketteful]

The woman encircled at the end looks like Karla Bonoff in the late 80's.
