    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.

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

    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

      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

    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!

    "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).
