Selkie's Dance

[jashilsdonmusic]

This song needs the ultra-talented hand of Ms. Adrien Burke to do the illustrations. I have put in a request. Now to see . . .

You can always tell an Irishman. But you can't tell him much.

[jashilsdonmusic]

Off in the west_ in the deep of night

under the midsummer moon's delight

Out of the mist of the sea they steal

peeling away their coats of seal

Over the soft, enchanted sands

beautiful maidens appear and dance

Oh___ and the music comes out of the rumbling sea

barking mysterious rhythm and wild melody

[jashilsdonmusic]

Twisty-nimble they whirly gig

galloping feet in a spirity jig

Bendy fingers and wavy arms

toss the feathers and buss together

Till oh so suddenly whisk away

bodily, pelt and kelpie

Safe back into the misty gray

shy___ are the Selkie
