Lyrics:
It was a Friday morn when we set sail
And we were not far from the land
When our captain, he spied a fishy mermaid
With a comb and a glass in her hand
And the ocean waves do roll
And the stormy winds do blow
And we brave lads were skipping on the deck
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 brave old skipper was he
"Well this fishy mermaid has warned me of our doom
We will sink to the bottom of the sea."
And the ocean waves do roll
And the stormy winds do blow
And we brave lads were skipping on the deck
While the landlubbers lie down below (below, below)
While the landlubbers lie down below
And up spoke the first mate of our
gallant ship
And a brave young man was he
"Well I've got a sweetheart at Whitford by the sea
And tonight she be weepin' for me."
And the ocean waves do roll
And the stormy winds do blow
And we brave lads were skipping on the deck
While the landlubbers lie down below (below, below)
While the landlubbers lie down below
And up spoke the cook of our gallant ship
And a greasy butcher was he
"I care much more for my pots and my pans
Than I do for the bottom of the sea."
And the ocean waves do roll
And the stormy winds do blow
And we brave lads were skipping on the deck
While the landlubbers lie down below (below, below)
While the landlubbers lie down below
Then up spoke the cabinboy, of our gallant
ship
And a nasty little lad was he.
I'm not quite sure I can spell "mermaid"
But I'm going to the bottom of the sea.
And the ocean waves do roll
And the stormy winds do blow
And we brave lads were skipping on the deck
While the landlubbers lie down below (below, below)
While the landlubbers lie down below
Then three times 'round spun our gallant
ship
And three times 'round spun she
Three times 'round 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 brave lads were skipping on the deck
While the landlubbers lie down below (below, below)
While the landlubbers lie down below
