Twas \[G]Friday morn when \[C]we set \[G]sail
|
|
|
|
|
And \[C]we were not \[D7]far from the \[G]land
|
|
|
|
|
When the captain, he spied a \[C]lovely \[G]mermaid
|
|
|
|
|
With a \[C]comb and a \[D7]glass in her \[G]hand

\beginchorus
|
|
|
|
|
O the ocean's waves will roll
|
|
|
|
|
And the stormy winds will \[D7]blow
|
|
|
|
|
While \[G]we poor sailors go \[C]skipping to the \[G]top
|
|
|
|
|
And the \[C]landlubbers \[D7]lie down \[G]below (below, below)
|
|
|
|

And the \[C]landlubbers \[D7]lie down \[G]below

\beginverse
|
|
|
|
|
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 \og mermaid \fg
|
|
|
|
|
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
