Anna Thormahlen Jenkins: a few of my songs...
Carrickfergus/The Water Is Wide
Irish Traditional / Arranged by Anna Jenkins
Carrickfergus is a beautiful song from Northern Ireland that is the origin for the song, The Water is Wide, which is usually thought of as as American folk song. In this arrangement I have combined the two songs. If you listen closely to the bridge section of Carrickfergus, you can hear some of the melody found in The Water is Wide.
