《The Mermaid(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Mermaid (Live) - Shel Silverstein

[00:00:06] Hey when I was a lad in a fishing

[00:00:07] Town an old man he said to me

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

[00:00:14] Jolly life just sailing on the sea

[00:00:20] Now you can search the world

[00:00:22] For pretty girls till your eyes

[00:00:25] Are weak and dim

[00:00:27] But I don't go swimming with the

[00:00:30] Mermaid son if you don't know how to swim

[00:00:36] If you don't know how to swim

[00:00:41] For her hair is green as seaweed

[00:00:44] And her eyes is blue and pale

[00:00:46] And I tell you now before you

[00:00:48] Start you can love that girl with all your heart

[00:00:52] But you're just gonna love the

[00:00:54] Upper part you're not gonna like the tail

[00:01:02] So I signed onto a whaling ship

[00:01:05] And my very first day at sea

[00:01:07] I seen a mermaid in the waves

[00:01:10] Reaching out to me

[00:01:13] Come live with me in the sea said

[00:01:15] She and down on the ocean's floor

[00:01:18] I'll show you a million wonderous

[00:01:20] Things you never seen before

[00:01:23] Oh you never seen before

[00:01:26] So over I jumped and she pulled me

[00:01:28] Down down to her seaweed bed

[00:01:32] And the pillow made of tortoise

[00:01:34] Shell she placed beneath my head

[00:01:37] She fed me shrimps and caviar upon

[00:01:40] The silver dish

[00:01:42] From her head to her waist she was

[00:01:44] My taste but the bottom part was a fish

[00:01:47] Oh her bottom part was a fish

[00:01:50] Yes her hair were green as seaweed

[00:01:53] Her eyes were blue and pale

[00:01:55] And I loved that girl with all my

[00:01:58] Heart I vowed we'd never part

[00:02:01] But I knew the back was not too

[00:02:03] Smart 'cause I did not like the tail

[00:02:11] And then one day when I looked up

[00:02:14] I saw a sailin' ship

[00:02:16] And I met the stare of a millionaire

[00:02:19] Out on a fishing trip

[00:02:22] A diamond ring he tied to a string

[00:02:25] And lowered it down to the water

[00:02:27] And my love divine she went for

[00:02:29] His line and that was the way he caught her

[00:02:32] Yes that was the way he caught her

[00:02:35] So I sat and cried to the tide

[00:02:38] Same to the clams and whales

[00:02:40] How I missed my love her seaweed

[00:02:42] Hair and the silvery shine of her scales

[00:02:45] Just then her sister swam on by

[00:02:48] And set my heart awhirl

[00:02:50] For her upper part was an ugly

[00:02:53] Old fish but the bottom part was girl

[00:02:56] Yes the bottom part was girl

[00:02:59] Yes her knees are pink and rosy

[00:03:01] And her toes are small and frail

[00:03:04] Her body it's a work of art and

[00:03:06] I love that girl with all my heart

[00:03:09] And I don't give a damn about

[00:03:10] The upper part and that's how I end my tale
