The Tern and the Swallow - Cara Dillon When the Cuckoo is calling over woodland and valley And the Tern and the Swallow flies over our bay Then it's longing I'll be for the land of my father Where Bann and black water sweep down to Lough Neagh A home I have made in the land of the stranger And it's manys a long year since I left Derry quay Still I dream of the blooming and the glens of old Ireland Where Bann and black water sweep down to Lough Neagh And it'soon I must start and this is my last journey For my eyes they grow dim and my hair sparse and grey And it's soon I must follow the Tern and the Swallow Where Bann and black water sweep down to Lough Neagh I long for to see the dark waters of Lough Neagh And I long for to gaze on Slieve Gallion Braes And I long for to follow the Tern and the Swallow Where Bann and black water water sweep down to Lough Neagh And when I return to my native land In the spring I will hear the Cuckoo sing round Lough Neagh And I'll be out there waiting for the Tern and the Swallow Where Bann and black water sweep down to Lough Neagh And all I ask is a cairn in the land of my father Where Bann and black water Sweep down to Lough Neagh
