[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.
Am C Am G
"I have come in from the ocean, I have come in from the sea,
Am G Am 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
Am C Am G
But I cannot go into the ocean, I cannot go into the sea.
Am G Am G Am
I would drown beneath the waves, love, if I went along with ye."
[Verse 3]
Am C G
"Lady, long have I loved you: I would have you for my wife.
Am C G
I will stay upon your shoreland though it robs me of my life.
Am C Am G
I will stay one night beside you, never go back to the sea,
Am G Am G Am
I will stay and be thy husband though it be the death of me."
[Chorus]

[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:
Am C Am G
Let us speak with my grandmother who's ever dwelt beside the sea.
Am G Am 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 a maiden can be wed to her selkie.
Am C Am G
For the selkie's watery kingdom would surely rob her of her breath
Am G Am G Am
But to stay on land past midnight, it 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 'til dawning has ne'er been seen before.
Am C Am G
But my mother had a seal-coat that she buried 'neath a tree
Am G Am G Am
And she told me that its wearer would become a fair selkie."
[Chorus]
Am C G

Di-di-di Di-di-di Di-di-di Di-di-di
[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 the shovel to unearth the thing they seek.
Am C Am G
At the rising of the full moon underneath the elfin oak
Am G Am G Am
She's unearthed that very treasure of which her grandmother spoke.
[Verse 8]
Am C G
And 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.
Am C Am G
Now they've gone into the ocean, hand in hand into the sea,
Am G Am G Am
She has gone along - a fair seal-bride for her selkie.
[Chorus/Outro]
