moody penner & swain - the silkie lyrics

Loading...

an earthy nurse sits and sings
and ay she sings by lilly wear
and little can i, thy bairn’s father
far less the land where he dwells in

for he came one night to her bed feet
and a guest i’m sure was he
saying “here i am, thy ‘s father
although i be not comely”

“i am a man on the land
i am a silkie on the sea
and when i am far and far frae land
my name it is in suole skerrie”

and he has ta’en a purse of gold
and he has placed it on her knee
saying “give to me
and take thee up thy nurse’s fee”

“and you shall marry a gunner good
and a right fine gunner i’m sure he’ll be
and the very first shot that e’er he shoots
will k!ll both my young son and me”
