The Water Is Wide in HD ~ Burke's high D narrowbore aluminum whistle ~

Traditional Irish tune recorded on a Canon HF20 in Broadway Park, Ann Arbor, Michigan on the banks of the mighty Huron River. For this and the other whistle shot, I hung my Hague Motion-cam stabilizer in a tree and pointed at me and the river. :) Edited in Finalcut Suite.

~ The Water Is Wide ~




The water is wide, I cannot cross o'er, But Neither have I the wings to fly. Give me a boat, that can carry two, And both shall row, my love and I. I leaned my back up against an oak I thought it was a trusty tree but first it bent and then it broke And so my love did unto me. A ship there is and she sails the sea, She's loaded deep as deep can be, But not so deep as the love I'm in I know not if I sink or swim. O love is handsome and love is fine And love's a jewel when it is new but love grows old and waxes cold And fades away like morning dew.
