《The Merman》歌词

[00:00:00] The Merman - The Wolfe Tones

[00:00:12] I'm a sailorman from Wexford town

[00:00:16] I've sailed the seven seas

[00:00:18] I will tell you a true story

[00:00:21] Of the sunny southern seas

[00:00:24] We were caught up in the doldrums

[00:00:26] While waiting for a breeze

[00:00:29] When the stillness of the day was broke

[00:00:32] By a merman in the deep blue seas

[00:00:36] Well the captain he slept below

[00:00:39] While the crew they lay a bout

[00:00:42] When down in the ocean boys

[00:00:45] We heard this mighty shout

[00:00:47] His hair was red his eyes were green

[00:00:50] His beard was floating free

[00:00:53] He'd a long green tail that could kill a wale

[00:00:56] That waggled in the deep blue sea

[00:01:00] An the mermaids looked so beautiful

[00:01:03] As they swam around by the shore

[00:01:05] But this merman with his fishy tail

[00:01:08] I've never seen be fore

[00:01:11] And sailors tell the tallest tales

[00:01:14] I've never told a lie;

[00:01:16] He'd a long green tail that could kill a wale

[00:01:20] That wobbled as he swam close by

[00:01:29] Was it Neptune that appeared to us

[00:01:32] From his mansions in the deep

[00:01:35] Then the cook O'Toole then he ran below

[00:01:38] Woke the captain from his sleep

[00:01:40] And the captain came on deck at once

[00:01:43] Took a look into the deep

[00:01:46] "Oh I've never seen the likes of this "

[00:01:49] The merman then he soon did greed

[00:01:53] "Then who are you where do you come from

[00:01:56] What do you want here "

[00:01:58] Then he shook his tail it rocked the boat

[00:02:01] It filled our hearts with fear

[00:02:04] "You've dropped your anchor on my house

[00:02:07] It's blocking up me door

[00:02:09] And my wife the mermaid she's trapped inside

[00:02:12] And my children can't get out no more

[00:02:16] An the mermaids looked so beautiful

[00:02:19] As they swam around by the shore

[00:02:22] But this merman with his fishy tail

[00:02:25] I've never seen be fore

[00:02:27] And sailors tell the tallest tales

[00:02:30] I've never told a lie;

[00:02:33] He'd a long green tail that could kill a wale

[00:02:36] That wobbled as he swam close by

[00:02:46] Well we quickly hoisted anchor boys

[00:02:48] And the merman than did smile

[00:02:51] "Sure me name is Patrick John O'Rourke

[00:02:54] I came from Erin's isle

[00:02:57] It was many years a go from now

[00:03:00] I was shipwrecked on the reef

[00:03:02] When this pretty mermaid she rescued me

[00:03:05] From the perils of the ocean deep

[00:03:09] And we very soon were married

[00:03:12] Way down in the deep blue seas

[00:03:15] Now I'm happy and con tented

[00:03:18] With my wife and fami ly

[00:03:20] Though I oft times wish I could go home

[00:03:23] And life on Ireland's shore

[00:03:26] But I'm co mmitted to the ocean deep

[00:03:29] And I can't go home a gain no more "

[00:03:33] An the mermaids looked so beautiful

[00:03:35] As they swam around by the shore

[00:03:38] But this merman with his fishy tail

[00:03:41] I've never seen be fore

[00:03:44] And sailors tell the tallest tales

[00:03:47] I've never told a lie;

[00:03:49] He'd a long green tail that could kill a wale

[00:03:53] That wobbled as he swam close by

[00:03:56] An the mermaids looked so beautiful

[00:03:59] As they swam around by the shore

[00:04:02] But this merman with his fishy tail

[00:04:05] I've never seen be fore

[00:04:07] And sailors tell the tallest tales

[00:04:11] I've never told a lie;

[00:04:13] He'd a long green
