The Selkie's Stout

[Intro]
[Verse]
Outside the wind is howling loud
Inside we gather in a crowd
Peat fire embers drift and rise
Fiddle hums beneath the skies
[Verse]
Rain is streaking on the glass
Watch the stormy winter pass
Warm accordion starts to play
Chasing all the cold away
[Pre-Chorus]
Old men spin a merry yarn
Down from the cliffs beside the barn
Of a guest who came to play
On a cold and frosty day
[Chorus]
She stole a pint of creamy stout
She danced a jig upon the bar
And turned the tavern inside out
Bright as a star
[Post-Chorus]
Hear the bodhrán beat
Tap your dusty feet
Spinning in the heat
Oh, the tale is sweet
[Break]
[Verse]
She wore a coat of dripping wet
A sight we never will forget
Her eyes were green as stormy seas
Laughing at the salty breeze
[Verse]
Frothy ale foam on her chin
That is how the jokes begin
Fiddle strings are humming bright
Keeping out the chilly night
[Pre-Chorus]
Old men spin a merry yarn
Down from the cliffs beside the barn
Of a guest who came to play
On a cold and frosty day
[Chorus]
She stole a pint of creamy stout
She danced a jig upon the bar
And turned the tavern inside out
Bright as a star
[Bridge]
The wooden flute began to cry
Underneath the winter sky
We watched her run toward the shore
Passing through the heavy door
[Bridge]
Leaving only silver foam
As the ocean called her home
Now we raise a glass and sing
For the joy the stories bring
[Chorus]
She stole a pint of creamy stout
She danced a jig upon the bar
And turned the tavern inside out
Bright as a star
[Outro]
