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