The Mermaid Song

One stormy night we set sail
We was not far from the land
When our captain spied a pretty mermaid
With a comb and a glass in her hand

The ocean waves may roll
Stormy winds may blow
While we poor sailors go skipping to the top
Landlubbers lie down below below below
Landlubbers lie down below

Then up spoke the captain of our gallant ship
A well-spoken man was he
"I've met me a wife down in Salem town
Tonight she a widow will be"

The ocean waves may roll
Stormy winds may blow
While we poor sailors go skipping to the top
Landlubbers lie down below below below
Landlubbers lie down below

Then up spoke the mate of our gallant ship
A well-spoken man was he
"I've met me a wife in Salem town
Tonight she a widow will be"

The ocean waves may roll
Stormy winds may blow
While we poor sailors go skipping to the top
Landlubbers lie down below below below
Landlubbers lie down below

Then up spoke the cook of our gallant ship
A well-spoken man was he
"I care much more for my kettles and my pots
Than I do for the depths of the sea"

The ocean waves may roll
Stormy winds may blow
We poor sailors go skipping to the top
Landlubbers lie down below below below
Landlubbers lie down below

Then three times round went our gallant ship
Three times round went she
Three times round went our gallant ship
She sank to the bottom of the sea

Then the ocean waves may roll
Stormy winds may blow
We poor sailors go skipping to the top
Landlubbers lie down below below below
Landlubbers lie down below

And the ocean waves may roll
Stormy winds may blow
We poor sailors go skipping to the top
Landlubbers lie down below below below
Landlubbers lie down below
