“The Water Is Wide” is an old Scottish song, first published by the English folk song collector, scholar, and composer Cecil Sharp in the 1906 collection Folk Songs from Somerset. The tune was popularized in the United States after Pete Seeger recorded a version during the folk revival of the 1950s, and there have been a number of other great covers by the likes of Joan Baez, Eva Cassidy, and James Taylor.
