《Silkie》歌词

[00:00:00] Silkie - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)

[00:00:13] 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 "

[00:00:47] For he's come one night to her bed's foot

[00:00:54] And a grumly guest I'm sure he'd be

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

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

[00:01:21] "I am a man upon the land

[00:01:28] I am a silkie on the sea

[00:01:35] And when I'm far and far from land

[00:01:42] My home it is the sule skerrie "

[00:01:55] And he has ta'en a purse of gold

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

[00:02:09] Saying "Give to me my little young son

[00:02:16] And take thee up thy nurse's fee

[00:02:28] I will come to pas on a summer's day

[00:02:35] When the sun shine's bright on every stane

[00:02:42] I'll come and fetch my little young son

[00:02:49] And teach him how to swim the faem

[00:03:02] "And ye shall marry a gunner bold

[00:03:10] And a right fine gunner I'm sure he'll be

[00:03:19] And the very first shot that ever he shoots

[00:03:26] Will kill both my young son and me "
