GUEST,Lani	Water Is Wide - First American Version (44)	The Water is Wide - one more time!	22 May 02
Wow! Just stumbled on this site after researching this song, and have spent an enjoyable several hours following many twisted threads. Feel a bit like the minotaur is after me. Anyway.... Am doing an American music concert with my college choir and a bit of re-enacting, and a great arrangement of "The Water is Wide" is on the program. My question is this: Does anyone know where it first showed up on this side of the pond? I noted the reference to the Georgia and South Carolina Sea Islands, which would be neat, since I'm in eastern North Carolina, and not far from there, but how 'bout before that? Appreciate any help.... Lani Threads on this song: The Water is Wide - one more time! Waly, Waly - Water is Wide Water is wide: song history request Lyr Req: HELP!
