[00:00:00] Mermaid (美人鱼) - Martin Carthy

[00:00:12] Written by：Martin Carthy/Dave Swarbrick

[00:00:24] One night as I lay on my bed

[00:00:28] I lay so fast asleep

[00:00:32] When the thought of my true love come running in my head

[00:00:37] And sailors that sail on the deep

[00:00:41] As I sailed out one day one day

[00:00:45] And being not far from land

[00:00:49] There I saw a mermaid sat on a rock

[00:00:54] A comb and a glass in her hand

[00:00:57] Now the song she sang she sang so sweet

[00:01:02] No answer at all could I say

[00:01:06] Till our gallant ship she swung round about

[00:01:11] Which made our poor hearts to ache

[00:01:35] Then up stepped the helmsman of our ship

[00:01:39] In his hand a lead and line

[00:01:42] For to sound the seas so wide and so deep

[00:01:47] No hard rock or sand could he find

[00:01:51] Up stepped the captain of our ship

[00:01:56] And a well-speaking man is he

[00:02:00] He says I have a wife in fair Plymouth town

[00:02:04] This night and a widow she'll be

[00:02:08] Up stepped the bosun of our ship

[00:02:13] And a well-spoken man was he

[00:02:17] He says I have two sons in fair Bristol town

[00:02:21] And orphans I fear they will be

[00:02:26] And then up stepped our cabin boy

[00:02:30] And a fine pretty boy was he

[00:02:34] He says oh I grieve for my mother dear

[00:02:38] Whom I shall never more see

[00:03:00] Last night last night when the moon shone bright

[00:03:04] My mother she had sons five

[00:03:08] But now she may look in the salt salt sea

[00:03:13] And find but one alive

[00:03:17] Call for boats call for boats my fair Plymouth boys

[00:03:21] Do you hear how the trumpets sound

[00:03:25] For the want of a long-boat in the ocean we're lost

[00:03:30] And most of our merry men drowned
