Intro

Verse 1

Should you wander this land to the North,

And few seldom do,

Should you follow the song of the gull

To enchanted western isles,

Coax a fisherman to take you out

Where the silky seals are seen,

Hear the stories that they tell about

Prechorus

The maiden who is their queen,

(mute the high string)

The maiden who is their queen.

Chorus 1st

Celia of the seals,

She knows just how they feel,

Celia of the seals.

Interlude 1

(just picking the open chords)

"Voyna, voyna, voyna, voyna voyna vay"

"Voyna, voyna, voyna, voyna voyna vay"

Verse 2

Seal hunters are not brave and bold,

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,

They're left on the rocks to bleed

He's not a man who does this thing,

Prechorus

It's a cruel and a heartless deed,

A cruel and a-heartless deed.

Chorus 2

Celia of the seals,

She knows just how they feel,

Celia of the seals.

Celia of the seals,

Celia of the seals,

She knows just how they feel,

Celia of the seals,

Celia of the seals,

Celia of the seals,

"Voyna, voyna, voyna, voyna voyna vay"
