Coax a fisherman to take you out

D                              G  C  G
Seal hunters are not brave and bold,
Em   C  G                    C  G
They murder her poor wee seals

And cut off their skins to be sold,

Cursed be he who deals.

There's no reason for this slaughtering,
Em  C  G                         C  G
They're left on the rocks to bleed

He's not a man who does this thing,

A cruel and a—heartless deed.
