Absolutely Beautiful!

So beautifull, Thank you so much !!

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

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

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

She's awesome!

Come to me Maury . You loved Maura and I love Maury . I must write to ease the pain for its like a pain reliever … miss you so Much

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

"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).

This is my favourite of her,I still have it on tape!Thank you for chosing it !!!!

One of the most beautiful folk songs ever!

Is this Irish or Scottish

Wow. I've just been introduced to Maura O'Connell. Gorgeous voice and a tremendous version of this beautiful song. Thank you for posting.

Great voice. Such grace.

Lindo 👏👏👏🎶🎸🎹🎻

Sem palavras 😍 👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇺🇸

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

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

WOW! How beautiful & tranquil... I will listen to her a lot now that a great friend introduced me to her music! 🎶

Best version I've ever heard ...fab

Nothing like a beautiful lament to cheer one's soul.

Perfect, Maura at her very best

Pure enchantment. I just listen again and again

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

Just wonderful, a joy to hear thank you

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

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

I wish that I were this song sung by her.

an amazing angelic voice, check out the blessing song by her she is a voice full of wisdom and beauty who reveals what we all are within inside us where we are one. Peace and Love, and ProActive Charity don't let the selfishness swallow the world God gave us please

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

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

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.

Best version yet

Her accent is just blissful.

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

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

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!

lovely lovely lovely thanks for sharing it!!!!

been a fan since early 1990's when I'd hear her on Fiona Richey's Shamrock Shoe on NPR

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....

Saw her sing this in Cambridge with Carly Simon, wow

A person from a difficult and violent childhood (as per Migenes' bio on her official web site) who succeeded in adulthood could resonate with the message in this song.

@UndercoverCracker I want to thank God for it
