Version 1
                   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  


Refrain
