paul clayton – the mermaid lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
it was friday morn when we set sail
and we were not so far from the land
when our captain, he spied a mermaid so fair
with a comb and a glass in her hand

[chorus]
oh, the ocean waves do roll
and the stormy winds do blow
we old sailors are skipping at the top
while the landlubbers lie down below, below, below
oh, the landlubbers lie down below

[verse 2]
and up spoke the captain of our gallant ship
and a fine old man was he
“this fishy mermaid has warned me of our doom
we shall sink to the bottom of the sea.”

[chorus]
and the ocеan waves do roll
and the stormy winds do blow
and we old salts arе sittin’ at the top
the landlubbers lie down below, below, below
oh, the landlubbers lie down below
[verse 3]
and up speaks the mate of our gallant ship
and a well+spoken man was he
“oh, i have a wife in salem by the sea
and tonight a widow she will be.”

[chorus]
oh, the ocean waves do roll
and the stormy winds do blow
we brave tars are skipping at the top
the landlubbers lie down below, below, below
oh, the landlubbers lie down below

[verse 4]
and up spoke the cabin+boy of our gallant ship
and a brave young lad was he
“oh, i have a sweetheart in plymouth by the sea
and tonight she’ll be weeping for me.”

[chorus]
oh, the ocean waves do roll
and the stormy winds do blow
and we old sailors are sitting at the top
the landlubbers lie down below, below, below
oh, the landlubbers lie down below
[verse 5]
and up spoke the cook of our gallant ship
and a crazy old butcher was he
“oh i care much more for my pots and my pans
than i do for the bottom of the sea.”

[chorus]
oh, the ocean waves do roll
and the stormy winds do blow
we old sailors are skipping at the top
the landlubbers lie down below, below, below
oh, the landlubbers lie down below

[verse 6]
then three times around spun our gallant ship
and three times around spun she
and three times around spun our gallant ship
and she went to the bottom of the sea

[chorus]
oh, the ocean waves do roll
and the stormy winds do blow
we brave tars are skipping at the top
the landlubbers lie down below, below, below
oh, the landlubbers lie down below
