We sang this song in school and when I heard this song for the very first time it was a magical moment in my life. I was very emotional. This song helps me to go through my depression! Thank you Moira Smiley!
Michael, get out in the world, explore, love, travel don't let depression get deep in you DONT LET IT WIN I was there once and it's not easy because you can't see it coming until it's getting you down. Do slow walks, sing a song or anything that helps you get you up and going. Hope you are well and better by now...
This song really holds a lot of sentimental value for me because I sang it in choir last year and this song brings me back to some of the best days of my life. Thank your for this beautiful rendition, Moira. 💛
I’m a percussionist. Cannot get enough of this! I’m also a rock climber. Can’t tell you how many times I sang this song, looking down on a hot day, from high on a cliff, to a creek.
Really wonderful memories walking my dog by the river listening to this song over and over again. It was the loveliest spring I'd ever seen, I'd been going through therapy and finally finding relief from the things that had made my life unlivable for so many years. For the first time in my life things looked bright and I was at peace. That's what this song will always remind me of
I've been singing/percussing this song with friends for years ever since I attended a workshop lead by Moira. LOVE the addition of the water and dirt stomping sounds in this video, really beautiful, you guys!
I first heard this Leadbelly song as a little boy more than 65 years ago. I must have heard Moira's incredible percussive version of it a hundred times, and amazingly, I can never get enough. That's pretty good given that it started off giving me goosebumps. But this video takes the proverbial cake. hands down. Moira's talent and touch are all over it Please share it with your friends so it gets around. In other words WOW!
I second that, I've known this song for years now and every now and then it gets stuck in my head for weeks at a time, the only pleasant ear worm I've ever had :D
Omg I was like I recognized the woman at 1:22 but I could not lay a finger on it... now I know. Very nice version, hope to do it with my choir some time!
I heard this song from sweet honey in the rock in autumn 2014 when I was 8 years old, on there kids album called “All For Freedom” (1989) so there for its nostalgic
JE viens de découvrir ce magnifique chant et vos superbes vidéos madame Smiley Je vais le faire chanter à mes choristes : votre harmonisation est aussi très émouvante ! je vous en remercie Elisabeth ( Cheffe du choeur "Lundi , les autres chantent")
We are singing this in our little chorus group. Wish we sounded this good!! Now to get the hands to co-operate for the rhythm portion. These women are just fantastic!!
Bring me little water Sylvie Bring me little water now Bring me little water Sylvie Every little once in a while Bring in a bucket Sylvie Bring in a bucket now Bring in a bucket Sylvie Every little once in a while Sylvie come runnin' Bucket in my hand I will bring a little water Fast as I can Bring me little water Sylvie Bring me little water now Bring me little water Sylvie Every little once in a while Can't you see me comin'? Can't you see me now? I will bring a little water Every little once in a while Every little once in a while Every little once in a while
I saw a military women's choir do this too, it's beautiful!!! You also might try choral covers of the white winter hymnal which is originally a song from an indie rock band fleet foxes.

How seldom these days are we reminded of the beauty and sweetness of being human. thank you.

I’m a percussionist. Cannot get enough of this! I’m also a rock climber. Can’t tell you how many times I sang this song, looking down on a hot day, from high on a cliff, to a creek.
My sister Sylv died on Mt Marcus Baker in the Brooks Range in a mountain climbing accident on a very cold day.
Who’s here from James Charles 😭
yes 🥰
Me
this song is haunting me thanks to homeless james

Those claps under the water are amazing.

I cant wait to meet her. Come on out to Port Theatre to hear a 140 person choir perform this and others!!
I second that, I've known this song for years now and every now and then it gets stuck in my head for weeks at a time, the only pleasant ear worm I've ever had :D
sooooo gorgeous... silky smooth vocals and harmonies and sweet, subtle and heartfelt percussion ... beautiful
My college friend got me here she would always say, "Bring me a little water, Sylvie." Every time she would drink water. Missing our hang outs
I love every Moira arrangement of this, from this to the Florida choir and back.....Fun stuff, wish I could have been part of them all.
This is so powerful and beautiful! Thank you!
James’ cover of this song is THE best HAHAHAHAHA
dear Moira how wonderfull is your arrangement!
James bringing the views here
This is exquisitely sung. The filming is beautiful.
Omg I was like I recognized the woman at 1:22 but I could not lay a finger on it... now I know. Very nice version, hope to do it with my choir some time!
Learnt this many years ago from the Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie recording of it. Love it.
Great! a lot of thx from France I love this version +++

Lovely! Mesmerizing.
Wow, E flat contralto (bass). Superb rendition.

It's the best song I heard ever
Saw this song sung on tiktok and now I love it omg. This is so beautiful
Beautiful work, Moira and friends. Just about as good as Huddie's original or Pete's resiging it. And both of them are masters. Make way at the top.
