Saguaro - Words and Music by Mark Growden - Performed by Matthew Curtis

One of Newfoundland’s best known folksongs, “She’s Like The Swallow” was first collected by Maud Karpeles in 1930, but certainly dates from well before that, as evidenced by the appearance of several verses in various British laments.  The subject of the unfaithful lover is perhaps as old as song itself.
