It was Friday morn when we sat sail 
And we were not far from the land 
When our captain he spied a mermaid so fair 
With a comb and a glass in her hand 

Then 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" 

Then up spoke the cabin-boy of our gallant ship 
And a brave young lad was he 
Saying "I have a sweetheart in Brooklyn by the sea 
And tonight she'll be weeping for me" 

Then up spoke the mate of our gallant ship 
And a fine spoken man was he 
Saying "I have a wife in Salem by the sea 
And tonight she'll be weeping for me" 

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 poor sailors are skipping at the top 
While the land-lubbers lie down below, below, below 
While the land-lubbers lie down below
