When I waCs a lad in a fishing toFwn,

CMe old man said to me: F

“You can spend yoCur life, your jolly life, F

You can search Cthe world for pretty girls, F

‘till your eyes Amare weak and dim, Em

But donF’t go searching for the mermaid soCn,

If you don’Gt know how to swim.” C

F‘Cause her hair was green as seaweeCd,

Her skiFn was blue and pale, C

Her faceF it was a work of art, C

I lFoved that girl with all my heart, C

But I onlFy like the upper parCt,

GI did not like the tail. C
