The Mermaid

The Mermaid Lyrics by The Skullduggers

Verse 1 It Was Friday Night When We First Set To Sail And We Were Not Far From The Land When Our Captain Spied A Mermaid Off The Bow With A Comb And A Glass In Her Hand Verse 2 Up Spoke The Captain Of Our Gallant Ship And A Brave Young Skipper Was He He Said That Mermaid Has Warned Me Of Our Doom We Will Sink To The Bottom Of The Sea Chorus And The Ocean Waves Do Roll And The Stormy Winds Do Blow And We Brave Tars Go Skippin On The Deck While The Landlubbers Lie Down Below Below Below The Landlubbers Lie Down Below. Verse 3 Up Spoke The Bosun Of Our Gallant Ship And A Brave Young Laddie Was He He Said I've Got A Wife In Plymouth By The Sea And Tonight, A Widow She Will Be Chorus And The Ocean Waves Do Roll And The Stormy Winds Do Blow And We Brave Tars Go Skippin On The Deck While The Landlubbers Lie Down Below Below Below The Landlubbers Lie Down Below. Verse 4 Up Spoke The Cook Of Our Gallant Ship And A Crazy Old Butcher Was He He Said I Care Much More For Me Pots And For Me Pans Than I Do For The Bottom Of The Sea Chorus And The Ocean Waves Do Roll And The Stormy Winds Do Blow And We Brave Tars Go Skippin On The Deck While The Landlubbers Lie Down Below Below Below The Landlubbers Lie Down Below. Verse 5 The Gales Blew Hard And Tossed Our Gallant Ship And Three Times 'Round Spun She Our Fate Was Sealed As The Mermaid Had Revealed And We Sank To The Bottom Of The Sea Chorus And The Ocean Waves Do Roll And The Stormy Winds Do Blow And We Brave Tars Go Skippin On The Deck While The Landlubbers Lie Down Below Below Below The Landlubbers Lie Down Below.
