Human form she had
In Crescent City
She showed me her pity
Lucky me

In a storm so bad
The worst of the autumn
She came from the bottom
Of the sea

Please won't you stay a while
Give me your coat
Then we'll fall in love in my boat
You'll be my Selkie Bride

Please give me no denial
A promise I give
I'll forsake the life that I live
Now you're by my side

If you return again
I'll be the saddest man
My lips will burn your skin
If you return again
Please don't return again
Please don't return again
Please don't return again
Human form she had
In Crescent City
She showed me her pity
Lucky me

On that day so sad
Breezy and sunny
She melted like honey
In the sea
