The Mermaid Norman Blake

[Verse 1]
One stormy night when we set sail
We were not very far from the land
When our captain, he spied a pretty merrymaid
With a comb and a glass in her hand

[Chorus]
Oh, the ocean waves may roll
And the stormy winds may blow
While we poor sailors go skippin' to the top
And the landlubbers lie down below, below, below
And the landlubbers lie down below

[Verse 2]
Up spoke the captain of our gallant ship
And a well-spoken man was he
"I have made me a wife in old Salem town
Tonight shе a widow will be"

[Chorus]
Oh, the ocean wavеs may roll
And the stormy winds may blow
While we poor sailors go skippin' to the top
And the landlubbers lie down below, below, below
And the landlubbers lie down below
