[00:00.00]The Tern And The Swallow - Cara Dillon
[00:19.52]When the Cuckoo is calling over woodland and valley
[00:27.47]And the Tern and the Swallow flies over our bay
[00:35.46]Then it's longing I'll be for the land of my father
[00:43.41]Where Bann and black water sweep down to Lough Neagh
[00:51.44]A home I have made in the land of the stranger
[00:59.29]And it's manys a long year since I left Derry quay
[01:07.38]Still I dream of the blooming and the glens of old Ireland
[01:15.31]Where Bann and black water sweep down to Lough Neagh
[01:26.74]And it'soon I must start and this is my last journey
[01:34.69]For my eyes they grow dim and my hair sparse and grey
[01:42.58]And it's soon I must follow the Tern and the Swallow
[01:50.62]Where Bann and black water sweep down to Lough Neagh
[01:58.74]I long for to see the dark waters of Lough Neagh
[02:06.72]And I long for to gaze on Slieve Gallion Braes
[02:15.05]And I long for to follow the Tern and the Swallow
[02:22.92]Where Bann and black water water sweep down to Lough Neagh
[02:50.33]And when I return to my native land
[02:58.33]In the spring I will hear the Cuckoo sing round Lough Neagh
[03:06.42]And I'll be out there waiting for the Tern and the Swallow
[03:14.38]Where Bann and black water sweep down to Lough Neagh
[03:22.38]And all I ask is a cairn in the land of my father
[03:30.48]Where Bann and black water
[03:34.06]Sweep down to Lough Neagh
