The Water Is Wide" (also called "O Waly, Waly" or simply "Waly, Waly") is a folk song of Scottish origin. It has many versions and many covers in different styles down through the years and remains very popular to this day. Cecil Sharp published the song in Folk Songs From Somerset (1906). Here is our version sung by local singer Aimee Foley from Ennistymon, County Clare and recorded at the end of 2023 with Quentin Cooper on guitar/slide guitar and myself Enda Haran on guitar/strings/harmonies.

The British folk song "The Water is Wide" (also known as "O Waly Waly") has been used with lots of different lyrics over the years, including Hal Hopson's beloved hymn "The Gift of Love", and the hymn "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross". Today we played it on handchimes, and yes, we still have Christmas decorations in our home. 😂 We tried to make it less obvious, by not playing in front of a Christmas tree, but the signs of our procrastination are still there. 🤣🎄🎶 #Handbells #HandbellDuet #Hy
