The
Mermaid
 One Friday morn when we set sail, not very
far from land,
We there did espy a fair pretty
maid
With a comb and a glass in her hand, her
hand , her hand,
With a comb and a glass in her
hand.
While the raging seas did roar and the
stormy winds did blow,
While we jolly
sailor-boys were up into the top
And the
landbubbers lying down below, below, below,
And
the landlubbers lying down below.
Then up
starts the captain of our gallant ship,
And a
brave young man was he:
"I've a wife and child
in fair Bristol town,
But a widow I fear she
will be will be, will be,
But a widow I fear she
will be."
While the raging seas did roar and the
stormy winds did blow,
While we jolly sailor-boys were up into the top
And the landbubbers lying down below, below, below,
And the landlubbers lying down below.
The up
starts the mate of our gallant ship,
And a bold
young man was he:
"Oh! I have a wife in fair
Portsmouth town,
But a widow I fear she will be,
will be, will be,
But a window I fear she will
be."
While the raging seas did roar and the
stormy winds did blow,
While we jolly sailor-boys were up into the top
And the landbubbers lying down below, below, below,
And the landlubbers lying down below.
Then
up starts the cook of our galant ship,
And a
gruff old soul was he:
Oh ! I have a wife in
fair Plymouth town,
But a widow I fear she will
be, will be, will be,
But a widow I fear she
will be."
While the raging seas did roar and the
stormy winds did blow,
While we jolly sailor-boys were up into the top
And the landbubbers lying down below, below, below,
And the landlubbers lying down below.
And
then up spoke the little cabin boy ,
And a
pretty little boy was he;
Oh, I'm more griev'd
for my daddy and my mam
Than for your fair wives
all three."
Then three times round went our gallant
ship,
And three times round went she;
For the
want of a life-boat they all went down,
And
they sank to the bottom of the sea, the sea, the
sea,
And she sank to the bottom of the
sea.
While the raging seas did roar and the
stormy winds did blow,
While we jolly sailor-boys were up into the top
And the landbubbers lying down below, below, below,
And the landlubbers lying down below.
I have
searched for the music to go with this sea shanty
but can't find it anywhere. Sorry Diddily. I know
the Spinners, Furies, Clancy Brother's and many
more made it but can't find midi tune
anywhere.
