lyrics

THE MERMAID
(Waves On The Sea)

Twas Friday morn when we set sail

And we were not far from the land 

When the captain, he spied a lovely mermaid

With a comb and a glass in her hand

O the ocean's waves will roll

And the stormy winds will blow

While we poor sailors go skipping to the top 

And the landlubbers lie down below (below, below)

And the landlubbers lie down below

And up spoke the captain of our gallant ship 

And a well-spoken man was he

I have me a wife in Salem by the sea

And tonight she a widow will be

And up spoke the cookie of our gallant ship

And a red hot cookie was he 

Saying I care much more for my pots and my pans

Than I do for the bottom of the sea

Then up spoke the cabinboy, of our gallant ship 

And a nasty little lad was he. 

I'm not quite sure I can spell "mermaid"

But I'm going to the bottom of the sea.

Then three times around went our gallant ship

And three times around went she 

Three times around went our gallant ship 

And she sank to the bottom of the sea
