Soraidh bhuam gu Barraidh(on Capercaillie, Crosswinds) also at http://www.capercaillie.co.uk/lyrics/:(album: The Blood is Strong): O Mo Dhuthaich DEAN CADALAN SAMHACH

I am desperately seeking the lyrics for the above song! (which begins Dean Cadalan Samhach) any help? I looked in my book on Gaelic songs in Nova Scotia but it does not seem to be there...and I had thought it was on the Capercaille lyrics site under "Cape Breton Song" but it is not...

if anyone can help I would be most grateful. I understand the words might be dound in Songs Remembered in Exile; a book I'd love to own but cannot afford...
