the mermaid - heritage string band lyrics

it was friday morn
and we set sail
and we were not far from the land
when our captain he spied
a mermaid so fair
with a comb and a gl-ss in her hand
and the ocean waves do roll
and the stormy winds do blow
and we poor sailors are skipping at the top
while the landubbers lying down
below below below
while the landubbers lying below.
and up spoke the captain
of our gallant ship
and a fine old man was he.
said this vision of the maid
has warned us of our fate.
we shall sink to the bottom of the sea.
and the ocean waves do roll
and the stormy winds do blow
and we poor sailors are skipping at the top
while the landubbers ly down
below below below
while the landubbers ly down below.
then up spoke the first mate
of our gallant ship
and a fine spoken man was he
saying i have advice

and the ocean waves do roll
and the stormy winds do blow
and we poor sailors are skipping at the top
while the landubbers ly down
below below below
while the landubbers ly down below.
and up spoke the cabin boy
of our gallant ship
and a fine mellow callow was he
i’ve a father i’ve a mother
in a warren by the bay
and tonight they childless will be
and the ocean waves do roll
and the stormy winds do blow
and we poor sailors are skipping at the top
while the landubbers ly down
below below below
while the landubbers ly down below.
and up spoke the cook
of our gallant ship
and
i care much more
for me pots and me pans
than i do for the bottom of the sea.
and the ocean waves do roll
and the stormy winds do blow
and we poor sailors are skipping at the top
while the landubbers ly down
below below below
while the landubbers ly down below.
and three time round
we spun our gallant ship
and three times round spun she
three times round
we spun our gallant ship
and she sank to the bottom of the sea.
and the ocean waves do roll
and the stormy winds do blow
and we poor sailors are skipping at the top
while the landubbers lie down
below below below
while the landubbers lie down below.
end
