Loading...

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

[chorus]
and the ocean waves do roll
and the stormy winds do blow
and we poor sailors are skippin’ at the top
while the land+lubbers lie down below, below, below!
while the land+lubbers lie down below

[verse 2]
then up spoke the captain of our gallan’ ship
and a fine ol’ man was he
“this fishy mermaid has warned me of our doom
we shall sink to the bottom of thе sea!”

[chorus]
and the ocean wavеs do roll
and the stormy winds do blow
and we poor sailors are skippin’ at the top
while the land+lubbers lie down below, below, below!
while the land+lubbers lie down below
[verse 3]
then up spoke the mate of our gallan’ ship
and a fine+spoken man was he
sayin’ “i have a wife in brooklyn 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 poor sailors are skippin’ at the top
while the land+lubbers lie down below, below, below!
while the land+lubbers lie down below

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

[chorus]
and the ocean waves do roll
and the stormy winds do blow
and we poor sailors are skippin’ at the top
while the land+lubbers lie down below, below, below!
while the land+lubbers lie down below
[verse 5]
then up spoke the cook of our gallan’ ship
and a crazy ol’ butcher was he!
“i care much more for my pots and my 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 poor sailors are skippin’ at the top
while the land+lubbers lie down below, below, below!
while the land+lubbers lie down below

[verse 6]
then three times round, spun our gallan’ ship
and three times round spun she
three times round, spun our gallan’ ship
and she sank to the bottom of the sea

[chorus]
and the ocean waves do roll
and the stormy winds do blow
and we poor sailors are skippin’ at the top
while the land+lubbers lie down below, below, below!
while the land+lubbers lie down below
