Em folclorística, chama-se de história de "donzela-cisne" ou mulher-cisne a três tipos de contos: aquelas em que uma das personagens é uma donzela-pássaro, nas quais ela pode aparecer tanto como pássaro quanto como mulher; aquelas em que um dos elementos da narrativa é o roubo do manto de penas de uma donzela-pássaro, embora não seja o tema mais importante da história; e finalmente o motivo mais comumente referido, e também o de origem mais arcaica: aquelas histórias em que o tema principal, entre vários motivos mistos, é o de um homem que encontra a donzela-pássaro tomando banho e rouba seu manto de penas, o que o leva a se casar com a donzela-pássaro. Mais tarde, a donzela recupera o manto e sai voando, retornando ao céu, e o homem pode buscá-la novamente.

verse 1 Am C G Once a fair and handsome seal-lord lay his foot upon the sand Am C G For to woo the fisher’s daughter and to claim her marriage hand C G C G I have come in from the ocean, I have come in from the sea Am C G Am And I’ll not go to the waves, love, lest ye come along with me verse 2 Am C G Lord, long have I loved you as a selkie on the foam Am C G I would gladly go and wed ye and be lady of your home C G C G But I cannot go in to ocean, I cannot go into the sea Am C G Am I would drown beneath you waves love if I went along with thee verse 3 Am C G Lady, long have I loved you: I would have you from my wife Am C G I shall stay upon your shore land though it robs me of my life C G C G I’ll never go back to the ocean, never go back to the sea Am C G Am I shall stay one night beside you though it be the death of me verse 4 Am C G Lord I cannot go and wed thee all to watch my lover die Am C G Since I’ll not be left a widow I have a plan for us to try C G C G Let us speak with my grandmother who’s ever dwelt beside the sea Am C G Am She may know some trick or treasure that I may wed my fair selkie Verse 5 Am C G So they’ve gone to her grandmother’s little cottage by the sea Am C G To inquire how the maiden could be wed to her selkie C G C G For the seal-lord’s watery kingdom’d surely rob her of her breath Am C G Am But to stay on land past midnight, that would surely be his death Verse 6 Am C G Lord I know not how to aid you, you may never live on shore Am C G For your kind to live past dawning has never been seen before C G C G But my mother had a seal coat that she buried ‘neath a tree Am C G Am For she told me any wearer would become a fair selkie Verse 7 Am C G So they’ve journeyed farther inland though the seal-lord’s getting weak Am C G And she’s shouldering a shovel to unearth that thing they seek C G C G And at the rising of the full moon, underneath the elfin oak Am C G Am She’s unearthed that very treasure of which her grandmother spoke Verse 8 Am C G So just before the stroke of midnight they have made it back to sea Am C G And she’s donned that magic seal-coat and become a maid selkie C G C G Now they’ve gone into the ocean, hand in hand into the sea Am C G Am She has gone along, a fair seal-bride for her selkie
