The Mermaid Song - Bobby Bare (Bobby Bare)[00:00:00]

When I was a lad in a fishing town[00:00:06]

An old man said to me[00:00:09]

You can spend your life [00:00:12]

Your jolly life just sailing on the sea[00:00:14]

You can search the world for pretty girls[00:00:18]

Till your eyes're weak and dim[00:00:22]

But don't go swimming with a mermaid son [00:00:25]

If you don't know how to swim [00:00:28]

'Cause her hair is green as seaweed[00:00:31]

And her skin is blue and pale[00:00:35]

And I tell you now before you start[00:00:38]

You can love that girl with all your heart[00:00:41]

But you're just gonna love the upper part[00:00:44]

You're not gonna like the tail [00:00:48]

So I signed onto a whaling ship[00:00:53]

And my very first day at sea[00:00:56]

I seen a mermaid in the waves a reaching out to me[00:00:59]

Come live with me in the sea said she[00:01:05]

And down on the ocean's floor[00:01:09]

I'll show you a million wonderous things[00:01:12]

You never seen before [00:01:16]

So over I jumped and she pulled me down[00:01:20]

Down to her seaweed bed[00:01:23]

And the pillow made of tortoise shell[00:01:26]

She placed beneath my head[00:01:30]

She fed me shrimps and caviar upon a silver dish[00:01:33]

From her head to her waist she was just my taste[00:01:39]

But the rest of her was a fish [00:01:42]

Her hair was green as seaweed[00:01:46]

And her skin was blue and pale[00:01:49]

And her face it was a work of art[00:01:52]

I loved that girl with all my heart[00:01:56]

But I only loved the upper part[00:01:59]

I did not like the tail [00:02:02]

Then one day she swam away[00:02:07]

And I sang to the clams and whales[00:02:10]

I missed her fins and her seaweed hair[00:02:13]

And the silvery shine of her scales[00:02:16]

But then her sister she swam by[00:02:20]

And set my heart awhirl[00:02:23]

Cause her upper part was an ugly fish[00:02:26]

But her bottom part was a girl [00:02:30]

Her toes are pink and rosy[00:02:33]

And her knees are smooth and pale[00:02:36]

And her legs they are a work of art[00:02:39]

And I love that girl with all my heart[00:02:42]

I don't give a damn 'bout the upper part[00:02:46]

And that's how I end my tale[00:02:49]
