great selchie of shule skerry - judy collins lyrics

Loading...

[chorus]
in norway, there sits a maid
by lou, my baby, she begins
little know i my child’s father
or if land or sea he’s livin’ in

then there arose at her bed feet
and a grumbly guest
i’m sure it was he
saying here am i thy child’s father
although that i am not comely

i am a man upon the land
i am a selchie in the sea
and when i am in my own country
my dwellin’ is in shule skerry
and he hath taken a purse of gold
he hath put it upon her knee
saying give to me my little wee son
and take thee up thy nurse’s fee

and it shall come to p-ss
on a summer day
when the sun shines hot
on every stone
that i shall take my little wee son
and i’ll teach him for to swim in the foam
and you will marry a gunner good
and a proud good gunner i’m sure he’ll bev and he’ll go out on a may morning
and he’ll k!ll both my wee son and me

and lo, she did marry a gunner good
and a proud good gunner i’m sure it was he
and the very first shot that ere he did shoot
he k!lled the son and the great selchie

[chorus]
