barbara dickson – sule skerry lyrics
an earthly nooris sits and spins
and aye she sings ba lilley wain
sayin’ little ken i my bairn’s father
far less the land that he bides in
and he was there at her bedfoot
and a grumlie guest, i’m sure, ’twas he
sayin’ here am i thy bairn’s father
although i be not comely
i am a man upon the land
and i am a silkie in the sea
but when i’m far and far frae land
my home it is in sule skerry
then he’s taen oot a purse o’ gold
and he has thrown it upon her knee
sayin’ gi tae me my bonny wee son
and tak’ thee up thy nooris fee
for it’ll come to p-ss on a summer’s day
when the sun shines bright on every stane
that i’ll come and tak’ my bonny wee son
and teach him how to swim the fame
and you shall marry a gunner good
and a proud gunner, i’m sure he’ll be
but the very first shot, that ever he fires
he’ll k!ll both your young son and me
i am a man upon the land
and i am a silkie in the sea
but when i’m far and far frae land
my home it is in sule skerry
