\begin{SBVerse*}
Twas \Ch{G}{Friday} morn when \Ch{C}{we} set \Ch{G}{sail}
And \Ch{C}{we} were not \Ch{D7}{far} from the \Ch{G}{land}
When the captain, he spied a \Ch{C}{lovely} \Ch{G}{mermaid}
With a \Ch{C}comb and a \Ch{D7}{glass} in her \Ch{G}{hand}
\end{SBVerse*}
\bigskip
\begin{SBChorus}
O the ocean's waves will roll
And the stormy winds will \Ch{D7}{blow}
While \Ch{G}{we} poor sailors go \Ch{C}{skipping} to the \Ch{G}{top}
And the \Ch{C}{landlubbers} \Ch{D7}{lie} down \Ch{G}{below} (below, below)
And the \Ch{C}{landlubbers} \Ch{D7}{lie} down \Ch{G}{below}
\end{SBChorus}
\bigskip
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
\bigskip
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
\bigskip
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.
\bigskip
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
