Great Selchie Of Shule Skerry - Judy Collins[00:00:00]
Written by:Traditional[00:00:06]
In Norway there sits a maid[00:00:12]
By lou my baby she begins[00:00:19]
Little know I my child's father[00:00:27]
Or if land or sea he's livin' in[00:00:34]
Then there arose at her bed feet[00:00:44]
And a grumbly guest[00:00:52]
I'm sure it was he[00:00:55]
Saying here am I thy child's father[00:00:59]
Although that I am not comely[00:01:07]
I am a man upon the land[00:01:18]
I am a selchie in the sea[00:01:25]
And when I am in my own country[00:01:31]
I dwellin' is in shule skerry[00:01:39]
And he hath taken a purse of gold[00:01:50]
He hath put it upon her knee[00:01:56]
Saying give to me my little wee son[00:02:02]
And take thee up[00:02:10]
Thy nurse's fee[00:02:14]
And it shall come to pass[00:02:20]
On a summer day[00:02:24]
When the sun shines hot[00:02:27]
On every stone[00:02:32]
That I shall take[00:02:35]
My little wee son[00:02:39]
And I'll teach him[00:02:42]
For to swim in the foam[00:02:45]
And you will marry[00:02:52]
A gunner good[00:02:56]
And a proud good gunner[00:02:59]
I'm sure he'll bev[00:03:03]
And he'll go out[00:03:07]
On a may morning[00:03:11]
And he'll kill[00:03:15]
Both my wee son and me[00:03:19]
And lo she did marry[00:03:27]
A gunner good[00:03:32]
And a proud good gunner[00:03:35]
I'm sure it was he[00:03:39]
And the very first shot[00:03:44]
That ere he did shoot[00:03:48]
He killed the son[00:03:54]
And the great selchie[00:03:59]
In Norway there sits a maid[00:04:14]
By lou my baby she begins[00:04:22]
Little know I my child's father[00:04:31]
Or if land or sea[00:04:39]
He's livin' in[00:04:44]
