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.
