The Mermaid

One stormy night as we set sail

We was not far from the land

Our captain, when he spied a pretty merry maid

With a comb and a glass in her hand

And the ocean waves may roll

And the stormy winds may blow

And we poor sailors go skipping at the top

As the land lovers lie down below, below, below

As the land lovers lie down below

Well, then up spoke the captain of our galant ship

And a well spoken man was he

I've married me a wife in Salem town

And tonight, she a widow will be

And the ocean waves may roll

And the stormy winds may blow

And we poor sailors go skipping at the top

As the land lovers lie down below, below, below

As the land lovers lie down below

Well, then up spoke the cook of our gallant ship

And a well spoken man was he

I care much more for my kettle and my pots

Than I do for the depths of the sea

And the ocean waves may roll

And the stormy winds may blow

And we poor sailors go skipping at the top

As the land lovers lie down below, below, below

As the land lovers lie down below

Well then three times around went our gallant ship

And three times around when she

Well three times more went our gallant ship

And she sang to the depths of the sea

And the ocean waves may roll

And the stormy winds may blow

And we poor sailors go skipping at the top

As the land lovers lie down below, below, below

As the land lovers lie down below

As the land lovers lie down below, below, below

As the land lovers lie down below
