A Mermaid once came to my kingdom To my kingdom by the sea Wanting for nothing in Heaven and Earth Than to love, and be loved, by me She said, "Come to the water, my prince We'll live out our years young and free" I turned Her away to the ocean For my bride She never could be A sultan then came to my kingdom Possessing of jewels and gold He promised to build me a palace And towers of structure untold He said, "Just take my daughter for wife And to you my loyalty's sold" I gladly accepted his offer But my wedding night bed was so cold A score then passed over my kingdom In my kingdom by the sea There once again was that Mermaid Who in twelve years had aged less than three She said, "Come to the water, oh king And rule all the oceans so free" I turned Her away to the ocean For my bride She never could be My children then warred for my kingdom The beaches ran red with their blood My queen did not care for a minute She'd nipped all her cares in the bud Said I, "Fight thus the waters my kin Our castle's destroyed in a flood" They fought and they died with their vengeance And left my poor soul in the mud An old man I am in my kingdom Oh my kingdom by the sea There once again is that Mermaid Desiring desire of me She says, "Come to the water, old man Be reborn young and so free" I turned Her away to the ocean For my bride She never could be I turned Her away to the ocean For my bride She never could be I turned Her away to the ocean For my bride She never could be
