Dereen Day, Dereen Day,
The Nightjar calls upon the heath.
Dereen Day, Dereen Day,
The Bittern moves the reeds beneath.
Dereen Day, Dereen Day,
Cows will go west, at dawn of day
Dereen Day, Dereen Day,
My darling will watch them, lest they stray
Dereen Day, Dereen Day,
The new moon greets the setting sun's ray
Dereen Day, Dereen Day,
Homeward the cows will wend their way
Dereen Day, Dereen Day,
I'll let my darling go gather in may
Dereen Day, Dereen Day,
If he sleeps 'til dawn of day
Dereen Day, Dereen Day,
The Nightjar calls upon the heath.
Dereen Day, Dereen Day,
The Bittern moves the reeds beneath.
