The Curlew's Song	[print]
(Tommy Makem)

I heard a curlew crying long On a moor where wild winds blew And the sound of his sad lonesome song Made me feel lonesome too Oh... Cold winter came and the moorland froze The winds howled long and long And often echoed through the snows I heard that curlew's song Oh... Sweet sun-warmed summer came along From greenleafed days of spring I soon forgot the lonesome song I heard the curlew sing Oh...
