Tommy Makem The Curlew's Song
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
Chorus:
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
Chorus
Sweet sun-warmed summer came along
From greenleafed days of spring
I soon forgot the lonesome song
I heard the curlew sing
Chorus
