The Great Silkie of Sule Skerry
The Great Silkie of Sule Skerry or The Grey Selkie of Suleskerry is a traditional folk song from Orkney. The song was collected by the American scholar, Francis James Child in the late nineteenth century and is listed as Child ballad number 113. There are many different versions of the song, one of which is a part of the epic ballad, The Lady Odivere.〔(The 97-stanza version of "The Lady Odivere" ) at the Mudcat Café website is copied from Chapter 5 ("The Ballad Singer") of George Mackay Brown's ''An Orkney Tapestry'' (London, 1978), the source of which was Ernest W. Marwick's ''An Anthology of Orkney Verse.''〕
==Synopsis==
A woman laments that she does not know her son's father. A man rises up to tell her that he is the father, and that he is a silkie: a man only on the land, a seal in the water. He takes his son, gives her a purse of gold, and predicts that she will marry a gunner, who will shoot both him and their son.
