Subject: Lyr Add: Selkies Song From: RunrigFan Date: 03 Jan 21 - 08:59 PM Written by Andrew Huggan When I was a wee boy My aunty said to me Listen out my dear boy When you’re down there by the sea For when the sun goes down In the late hours of the town You may hear the selkies singing Like they used to sing to me I walked out over the dunes Over golden, golden sand I walked out late in June When I heard the distant band As the light begins to fade And the day turns into shade Well I heard the selkies singing They were singing out to me I heard the selkies I heard the selkies I heard the selkies’ song On the shores of the Dornoch Firth I’ve been all over this land From east to west I’ve roamed Royal Tain to Barra’s sands Oh, I’ve done it all alone But that day remains with me And everywhere I go Well I hear the selkies singing And their singing out to me I hear the selkies I hear the selkies I hear the selkies’ song On the shores of the Dornoch Firthx When I was a wee boy (not sung) © A. Huggan 2009 https://andrewhuggan.com/the-selkies-song/ First appearing on Taste Of Freedom EP in a different production, to a cleaner version on his Travels album released in 2012 |
