《Silkie》歌词

[00:00:00] Silkie - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)

[00:00:14] An earthly nurse sits and sings

[00:00:21] And aye she sings a lily wean -

[00:00:28] "Little ken I my bairn's father

[00:00:35] Far less the land where he dwells in "

[00:00:48] For he's come one night

[00:00:52] To her bed's foot

[00:00:55] And a grumly guest I'm sure he'd be

[00:01:02] Saying "Here am I thy bairn's father

[00:01:09] Although I be not comely

[00:01:22] "I am a man upon the land

[00:01:29] I am a silkie on the sea

[00:01:36] And when I'm far and far from land

[00:01:44] My home it is the sule skerrie "

[00:01:56] And he has ta'en a purse of gold

[00:02:03] And he had placed it upon her knee

[00:02:10] Saying "Give to me my little young son

[00:02:17] And take thee up thy nurse's fee

[00:02:29] "And I should come to pas on a summer's day

[00:02:37] When the sun shine's bright

[00:02:40] On every stane

[00:02:44] I'll come and fetch my little young son

[00:02:51] And teach him how to swim the faem

[00:03:04] "And ye shall marry a gunner bold

[00:03:12] And a right fine gunner

[00:03:15] I'm sure he'll be

[00:03:21] And the very first shot

[00:03:24] That ever he shoots

[00:03:28] Will kill both my young son and me "
