Silkie歌詞

[00:13.50]An earthly nurse sits and sings
[00:20.69]And aye she sings a lily wean
[00:27.90]Little ken I my bairn's father
[00:34.74]Far less the land that he dwells in
[00:47.30]For he's come one night to her bed's foot
[00:54.51]And a grumly guest I'm sure was he
[01:01.84]Saying here am I thy bairn's father
[01:08.78]Although I be not comely
[01:21.61]I am a man upon the land
[01:28.39]I am a silkie on the sea
[01:35.39]And when I'm far and far from land
[01:42.69]My home it is the sule skerrie
[01:54.92]And he has ta'en a purse of gold
[02:02.23]And he had placed it upon her knee
[02:08.96]Saying give to me my little young son
[02:15.89]And take thee up thy nurse's fee
[02:27.88]And each will come to pass on summer's day
[02:35.36]When the sun shine's bright on every stane
[02:42.57]I'll come and fetch my little young son
[02:49.76]And teach him how to swim the faem
[03:01.71]And ye shall marry a gunner bold
[03:10.16]And a right fine gunner I'm sure he'll be
[03:18.54]And the very first shot that ever he shoots
[03:26.32]Will kill both my young son and me
