{{short description|Folk song from Newfoundland}}

"She's Like the Swallow" (Roud 2306) is a folksong from Newfoundland. According to folklorist Neil V. Rosenberg, the song "appears never to have been widely known and sung in oral tradition" and the popularized version of the song differs significantly from the attested folk versions.{{cite journal |title=View of "She’s Like the Swallow": Folksong as Cultural Icon {{!}} Newfoundland and Labrador Studies |journal=journals.lib.unb.ca |url=https://journals.lib.unb.ca/index.php/nflds/article/view/10098/10353}} The song was first collected by ethnomusicologist Maud Karpeles in 1930.
