letra de the great silkie - the highwaymen (folk)

Loading...

[verse 1]
an earthly nourris sits and sings
and aye she sings, “hi lilly wean
little ken i my bairn’s father
far less the land in where he be”

[verse 2]
“i am a man upon the land
i am a silkie in the sea
and when i’m far and far frae land
my home it is in sule skerry”

[verse 3]
“it is my will”, quote the maiden fair
“it is my will indeed”, quote she
“that the great silkie of sule skerry
should come and ought a bairn on me”

[verse 4]
“it shall come to pass on a summer’s day
when the sunshine’s hot on every stone
that i shall take my little young son
and teach him for to swim the foam

[verse 5]
and you shall marry a proud gunner
and a proud fine gunner i’m sure he’ll be
and the very first shot that e’re he shoot
he’ll k!ll both my young son and me”
[refrain]
an earthly nourris sits and sings
and aye she sings, “hi lilly wean
little ken i my bairn’s father
far less the land in where he be”
