Sikie 歌詞

Silkie - Joan Baez (瓊·貝茲)

Written by:Traditional

An earthly nurse sits and sings

And aye she sings a lily wean

And little ken I my bairn's father

Far less the land

Where he dwells in

 

For he's come one night to her bed's foot

And a grumly guest I'm sure was he

Saying here am I thy Bairn's father

 

Although I be not comely

 

I am a man upon the land

I am a silkie on the sea

And when I'm far and far from land

 

My home it is in sule skerrie

 

And he has ta'en a purse of gold

And he had placed it upon her knee

Saying give to me my little young son

And take thee up thy nurse's fee

And it shall come to pass on a summer's day

When the sun shine's bright on every stane

I'll come and fetch my little young son

 

And teach him how to swim the faem

 

And ye shall marry a gunner bold

And a right fine gunner I'm sure he'll be

And the very first shot that ever he shoots

 

 

Will kill both my young son and me
