SAVE ME 1977 Save the Seals Tanya Tucker with Lyrics

I first heard this song when I was a kid and I was disgusted and still am that these gorgeous Harp Seals are still being bashed to death in the aim of getting the lovely white fur from them while still literally newborn pups. This form of animal cruelty must not be allowed to continue. We live in the 21st century there are plenty of alternatives to natural fur. Please be a friend of the Seals and stop this cruel practise

Lyrics to Save Me :

I'm not very big and I'm not very strong
I never have hurt you or done you wrong
I'm just a newborn baby and I'm startin' to grow
Trying to survive in my home in the snow save me

Mama she can only give me her love
There's a man over me and he's holding a club
They say that my fur begins a high price
For the boots that they line I must give up my life so save me

Save me save me save me save me

Please be my friend and lend me your hand
I'm close to the end you've got to understand
This thing that they're doin' you know that it's wrong
If you don't stop them soon then some day I'll be gone

Save me won't you save me help me now save me you've got to save me
I'm pleadin' to you save me oh won't you save me
Don't take me away save me save me

I have been looking for this EVERYWHERE. Thank you so much for sharing this. I saw/heard it many years ago & it's been with me ever since. Thank you thank you thank you.

[mumandtwins]

@Jaxagirl no problem I am glad there are some out there that still remember this song, I just wish I had a cleaner and fuller version of the song to upload

[cgflady]

I can't believe it! I looked for this song for so long - I must admit I had the wrong singer which didn't help. My niece [Chelsea] found me an audio version last year and of course I realised it was Tanya Tucker! duh! - I have had it on my MP3 since. I bought this as a young girl and was so moved by the words and the tune I never forgot it. Thank you x

[mumandtwins]

@cgflady I have been looking for the full song on MP3 for years I knew the name of the song, but couldn't remember who sung it, I went through some lists of songs released and found the video on a Dutch video website it was the song which taught me about what was happening to the seals it truelly is a beautiful song, here in Australia there was more to the video with images of the blood stained snow not alot but enough to get the message across

[mumandtwins]

@cgflady where did you locate the MP3? as it isn't on itunes

[annieru66]

They are so sweet. It's so sad they have to suffer. Tanya does a good job with this video.

[mumandtwins]

@annieru66 you should have seen the effort I had to go through to find this video, I remember being in Primary school when this song was released and it was the first time I learned what happened to these glorious creatures, I couldn't remember who sang the song, all I knew is it was about the seals and the song was Save Me.

[mumandtwins]

I hope by putting up this song that a new generation will find love and devotion to saving these seals just like I learned through listening to this song when I was a kid down here in South Australia back in 1977

[shell59ell06]

Are they gone yet? I know how hard the conservationists fight the battle for God's beautiful creatures. I heard this song and wanted to go throw the green dye on the poor little things! Thanks for the wonderful song.
