Was Friday morning when we set sail
We were not far from the land
When the captain spied a lovely mermaid
With a comb and a glass in her hand
Oh the ocean waves may roll
And the stormy seas may blow
While we poor sailors go skippin' to the top
While the landlubbers lie down below, below, below
While the landlubbers lie down below
Then up spoke the captain of our gallant ship
A well spoken man was he
"I have me a wife in Salem town tonight
Tonight she a widow will be"
Oh the ocean waves may roll
And the stormy seas may blow
While we poor sailors go skippin' to the top
While the landlubbers lie down below, below, below
While the landlubbers lie down below
Then up spoke the cook of our gallant ship
A well spoken cook was he
"I care much more for my kettles and my pots
Than I do for the bottom of the sea"
Oh the ocean waves may roll
And the stormy seas may blow
While we poor sailors go skippin' to the top
While the landlubbers lie down below, below, below
While the landlubbers lie down below
Then up spoke the cabin boy of our gallant ship
And a dirty little rat was he
"There's nary a soul in Salem town tonight
Who cares a bit about me"
Oh the ocean waves may roll
And the stormy seas may blow
While we poor sailors go skippin' to the top
While the landlubbers lie down below, below, below
While the landlubbers lie down below
Then three times around spun our gallant ship
Three times around spun she
Three times around spun our gallant ship
Then she sank to the bottom of the sea
Oh the ocean waves may roll
And the stormy seas may blow
While we poor sailors go skippin' to the top
While the landlubbers lie down below, below, below
While the landlubbers lie down below
