Текст песни The Great Selkie of Sule Skerry - June Tabor
In
nor′way
land
there
lived
a
maid
"Hush
ba
lu
lilly"
she
did
sing
For
little
ken
I
my
baby's
father
Nor
yet
the
land
that
he
dwells
in
It
happened
on
a
certain
day
As
this
fair
maid
lay
fast
asleep
That
day
there
came
a
grey
selkie
And
sat
him
down
at
her
bed
feet
Awake,
awake,
my
pretty
maid
It′s
oh
how
soundly
you
do
sleep
For
here
am
I
your
baby's
father
Sitting
here
at
your
bed
feet
I
pray
you
tell
to
me
your
name
And
where
your
dwelling
it
may
be?
My
name
is
Good
Hale
Mariner
I
earn
my
living
out
at
sea
I
am
a
man
upon
the
land
I
am
a
selkie
in
the
sea
And
when
I'm
far
and
far
from
land
My
home
it
is
in
Sule
Skerry
Oh
woe
alas
this
weary
fate
This
weary
fate
that′s
laid
on
me
That
a
man
should
come
from
the
west
of
Hoy
And
father
his
ain
child
on
me
My
dear,
I′ll
wed
you
with
a
ring
With
a
ring
my
dear
I'll
wed
with
thee
You
may
go
to
the
wedding
with
whom
you
will
I′m
sure
we'll
never
married
be
And
she
has
nursed
his
little
wee
son
For
seven
years
all
at
her
knee
And
when
seven
years
were
past
and
gone
He′s
come
with
gold
and
white
money
And
now
my
dear,
will
you
take
the
ring?
Will
you
take
the
ring
and
wed
with
me?
You
may
go
to
the
wedding
with
whom
you
will
I'm
sure
you′ll
never
marry
me
I'll
put
a
gold
chain
round
his
neck
And
a
gay
gold
chain
I'm
sure
it
will
be
And
if
e′er
he
comes
to
the
nor′way
land
He'll
know
for
sure
that
it
is
he
And
you
will
marry
a
gunner
good
And
a
gay
good
gunner
he
will
be
And
he′ll
go
out
on
a
May
morning
And
he'll
shoot
your
son
and
he′ll
shoot
me
And
the
selkie
took
the
little
boy
in
his
arms
And
they
went
away
and
over
the
hill.
And
in
time
As
the
selkie
had
prophesied,
she
did
marry
a
gunner
Who
went
out
on
a
May
morning
and
shot
two
seals
A
big
bull
male
and
a
young
male
with
a
gold
chain
Around
his
neck
Oh
woe,
alas,
this
weary
fate
This
weary
fate
that's
laid
on
me
And
so
she
cried
and
so
she
sighed
And
her
tender
heart
it
broke
in
three
