The Mermaid |
| It was Friday morn when we sat sail |
| And we were not far from the land |
| When our captain he spied a mermaid so fair |
| With a comb and a glass in her hand |
| And the ocean waves do roll |
| And the stormy winds do blow |
| And we poor sailors are skipping at the top |
| While the land-lubbers lie down below, below, below |
| While the land-lubbers lie down below |
| Then up spoke the captain of our gallant ship |
| And a fine old man was he |
| «This fishy mermaid has warned me of our doom |
| We shall sink to the bottom of the sea» |
| Then up spoke the cabin-boy of our gallant ship |
| And a brave young lad was he |
| Saying «I have a sweetheart in Brooklyn by the sea |
| And tonight she’ll be weeping for me» |
| Then up spoke the mate of our gallant ship |
| And a fine spoken man was he |
| Saying «I have a wife in Salem by the sea |
| And tonight she’ll be weeping for me» |
| Three times round spun our gallant ship |
| And three times round spun she |
| Than Three times round spun our gallant ship |
| And she sank to the bottom of the sea |
