It was Friday morn when we set sail And we were not far from the land When the captain, he spied a mermaid so fair With a comb and a glass in her hand Refrain: And the ocean's waves do roll and the stormy winds do blow And we poor sailors are skipping to the top 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 man was he This fishy mermaid has warned me of our doom We shall sink to the bottom of the sea Refrain Then up spoke the cabin boy of our gallant ship And brave young lad was he Sayin' I have a sweetheart in Salem by the sea And tonight she'll be weepin' for me Refrain And up spoke the cook of our gallant ship And a crazy old butcher was he I care much more for my pots and my pans Than I do for the bottom of the sea Refrain Then three times around spun our gallant ship And three times around spun she And three times around spun our gallant ship And she sank to the bottom of the sea Refrain
