G C G
It was Friday morn when we set sail
C D G
And we were not far from the land
G C G
When the captain, he spied a mermaid so fair
C D G
With a comb and a glass in her hand
Refrain:
G D
And the ocean's waves do roll and the stormy winds do blow
G C G
And we poor sailors are skipping to the top
C D G
While the landlubbers lie down below, below, below
C D G
While the landlubbers lie down below
G C G
And up spoke the captain of our gallant ship
C D G
And a fine spoken man was he
G C G
This fishy mermaid has warned me of our doom
C D G
We shall sink to the bottom of the sea
Refrain
G C G
Then up spoke the cabin boy of our gallant ship
C D G
And brave young lad was he
G C G
Sayin' I have a sweetheart in Salem by the sea
C D G
And tonight she'll be weepin' for me
Refrain
G C G
And up spoke the cook of our gallant ship
C D G
And a crazy old butcher was he
G C G
I care much more for my pots and my pans
C D G
Than I do for the bottom of the sea
Refrain
G C G
Then three times around spun our gallant ship
C D G
And three times around spun she
G C G
And three times around spun our gallant ship
C D G
And she sank to the bottom of the sea
