Silkie - Joan Baez[00:00:00]
An earthly nurse sits and sings[00:00:13]
And aye she sings a lily wean[00:00:20]
Little ken I my bairn's father[00:00:27]
Far less the land that he dwells in[00:00:34]
For he's come one night to her bed's foot[00:00:47]
And a grumly guest I'm sure was he[00:00:54]
Saying here am I thy bairn's father[00:01:01]
Although I be not comely[00:01:08]
I am a man upon the land[00:01:21]
I am a silkie on the sea[00:01:28]
And when I'm far and far from land[00:01:35]
My home it is the sule skerrie[00:01:42]
And he has ta'en a purse of gold[00:01:54]
And he had placed it upon her knee[00:02:02]
Saying give to me my little young son[00:02:08]
And take thee up thy nurse's fee[00:02:15]
And each will come to pass on summer's day[00:02:27]
When the sun shine's bright on every stane[00:02:35]
I'll come and fetch my little young son[00:02:42]
And teach him how to swim the faem[00:02:49]
And ye shall marry a gunner bold[00:03:01]
And a right fine gunner I'm sure he'll be[00:03:10]
And the very first shot that ever he shoots[00:03:18]
Will kill both my young son and me[00:03:26]
