“The Water is Wide with Bring Me a Little Water, Sylvie” is a combination of 2 traditional folk songs arranged for 2-Part Choir and Piano by Rollo Dilworth.
Performance Time: 3:20
“The Water Is Wide” (also called “O Waly, Waly” or simply “Waly, Waly“) is a folk song of Scottish origin, based on lyrics that partly date to the 1600s. It remains popular in the 21st century. Cecil Sharp published the song in Folk Songs From Somerset (1906). It is related to Child Ballad 204 (Roud number 87), Jamie Douglas, which in turn refers to the ostensibly unhappy first marriage of James Douglas, 2nd Marquis of Douglas to Lady Barbara Erskine.
“Bring Me a Little Water, Sylvie” is a song whose origin is unknown but is featured on the 1947 album by American folk musician Huddie Ledbetter (otherwise know as Lead Belly) titled ‘Lead Belly Vol. 6’ and is commonly attributed to him. Whilst performing this song, Lead Belly would often tell the story of his uncle Bob Ledbetter working on the land who would often call for his wife Sylvie to bring him some water.
