The Great Silky Lyrics by The Halifax Three

The San Francisco Bay Blues

0

An earthly nourice sits and sings
And as she sings "Ba, lily wean
Little ken I my bairn's father
Far less the land where he dwells in"
"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"
"It shall come to pass on a summer's day
When the sun shines hard on every stone
That I shall take my little young son
And teach him for to see the foam"
"And she did marry a proud gunner
And a very proud gunner was surely he
And the very first shot that he did shot
It killed both her young son and the great silkie"
