Sea Lion Woman
"Sea Lion Woman" (also "Sea-Line Woman", "See () Lyin' Woman", "She Lyin' Woman", "See-Line Woman", or "C-Line Woman") is a traditional American folk song originally used as a children's playground song.〔(Afro-American Blues and Game Songs - The Library of Congress Archive of Folk Culture ) Retrieved November 8, 2009〕
The exact origins of the song are unknown but it is believed to have originated in the southern United States. According to Tom Schnabel of KCRW (), he was told that
Nina Simone’s “Sealine Woman” is a 19th-century seaport song about sailors and prostitutes. The sailors would come into port (Charleston or New Orleans perhaps). Women of the pleasure quarters would be waiting, lined up dockside. Their dress colors signified the specific delights they offered. That is what the song is really about. This would explain the term 'Sea line' (a line of women by the sea) or alternatively, 'See-line' (women standing in a line to be seen).
It was first recorded by folklore researcher Herbert Halpert on May 13, 1939.〔(Odeo.com - Original recording of the Shipp sisters performing "Sea Lion Woman", recording information ) Retrieved November 7, 2009; link not valid June 10, 2012, and recording of Brooke Fraser at Baden Baden on Oct 1, 2011〕 Halpert was compiling a series of field recordings for the Library of Congress in Byhalia, MS, when he ran across Walter Shipp, a minister, and his wife Mary, a choir director of a local church. Halpert recorded Shipp's daughters, Katharine and Christeen, singing a spare version of "Sea Lion Woman" that defined the basic rhymes and rhythm of the song.
Notable covers include a version by Nina Simone (1964) under the name "See-Line Woman", Ollabelle's version featured on the 2006 album ''Riverside Battle Songs'' under the name "See Line Woman" and Feist's cover featured on the 2007 album ''The Reminder''. The Easybeats also recorded it, the song closing their 1967 album ''Friday on My Mind''. A version remixed by Greg Hale Jones and Russell Ziecker entitled "She Began to Lie", contains extracts from the original traditional song performed by the Shipp sisters and was used on the soundtrack of the 1999 feature film ''The General's Daughter''.〔(Review of "The General's Daughter" from moviemusicuk.us ) Retrieved November 8, 2009〕
