The Water Is Wide - 3 part harmony collab

This video is going up & down like a yo-yo - sorry about that. I was not happy with the first audio mix on this - there were a few problems with it, but my biggest mistake was accidentally drowning out Dona's lovely melody in the harmony parts. I believe I fixed that.

This was a fun project (except for my audio & video editing nightmares lol) and I feel lucky to have been able to sing with two such talents as Jackie (karaokewoman4life) and Dona (dleewhee). I couldn't have asked for two nicer people or lovlier singers to sing with. Please see their channels for more of their beautiful singing & their song writing. Jackie also plays keyboard, and Dona acoustic guitar.

Our version of Water Is Wide is loosley based on the version by The Indigo Girls with Jewel & Sarah McLaughlin.

The Water Is Wide - traditional
(English or Scottish folk song from the 1600's)

All 3
The water is wide, I cannot cross oer
And neither I have wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I

Sylvia
Now love is gentle, and love is kind
the sweetest flower when first it's new
but love grows old, and waxes cold
and fades away like morning dew

Jackie
There is a ship, that sails the sea
she's loaded deep as deep can be
but not as deep as the love I'm in
I know not how to sink or swim

Dona
I leaned my back against an oak
Thinking it was a trusty tree
But first it bent and then it broke
So did my love prove false to me

All 3
The water is wide, I cannot cross oer
And neither I have wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
And both shall row, my love and I
