the great silkie - the trees lyrics

Loading...

there sits a maid on norway’s strand
“hush bye*lou*lay,” this maid began
saying, “little ken i my bairn’s father
far less the land that he dwells in”

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

i am a man upon dry land
i am a silkie in the sea
and when i’m far from every strand
my dwelling is sule skerry”
and he has taken a chain of gold
and he has placed it on her knee
saying, “give to me my little young son
and take thee up thy nursing fee

and you will 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 slay both my young son and me”

and she has married a gunner good
and a right good gunner was he
and he went out on a may morning
and he shot the son and the great silkie
