Tommy Makem – The Curlew's Song lyrics

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
