Selkie Words and music by DG FletcherAm G A maiden of the sea Am G Miss Arielale Am F Her eyes so brown Am G Am and her hair dark and soft as down Am G Don't you know I am a selkie Am Don't take my sealskin away Am G Don't you know I am a selkie Am Don't take my sealskin away Am G She loved the fisherman Robert Rhine Am G Sharing fish love and time Am F They saved each other from the wind and storms G Am And cherished the other's wild charms Am G The villain of their small seaside town Am G The pious Pastor Brown Am F Burned her maidenform as a witch G Am and dumped her dead in a ditch Am G Don't you know I am a selkie Am Don't take my sealskin away Am G Don't you know I am a selkie Am Don't take my sealskin away Am G Robert mad with grief and loss Am G Shot Pastor Brown at his cross Am F Then fled into the angry sea G Am Carrying the skin of his Selkie Am G When the water touched her fur Am G She came back all seal and no girl Am F The ocean saw their true love's appeal G Am And turned him into a seal Am G Don't you know that we are selkies Am Don't take our sealskins away Am G Don't you know that we are selkies Am Don't take our sealskins away
