The Mermaid Song

(PRF Version)

It was Friday morn when we set sail
And we were not so far from the land
When the captain, he spied a pretty mermaid
With a comb and a glass in her hand

Chorus:
And the ocean waves do roll [Oh they roll]
And the stormy winds do blow [Oh they blow]
And we fine Rogues go skipping on the tops
While the landlubbers lie down below, below, below
While the landlubbers lie down below.

And up spoke the captain of our gallant ship
And a fine-spoken captain was he
It's the she mermaid, she has shown us to our doom
We will sink to the bottom of the sea.

(chorus)

Then up spoke the mate of our gallant ship
And a fine, sulking, sailor man was he
He said, "I've got a wife back in London by the sea,
And tonight she'll be crying for me!"

(chorus)

And up spoke the gunner of our gallant ship
And a rough, tough, fightin' man was he
He said, "I care much more for me cannon and me balls,
Than I care for the bottom of the sea!"

(chorus)

And then up spoke the cook of our gallant ship
And a crazy old cookie was he
"Well, I care much more for me pots and for me pans
Than I do for the bottom of the sea!"

(chorus)

Then three times 'round spun our gallant ship
And three times 'round spun she.
I said three times 'round spun our gallant ship
And she sank to the bottom of the sea.

(chorus sung "under water")
