The
One as I lay on my bed,
I lay so asleep,
the thought of my true love came running to my head
And poor that sail on the deep.
As I out one day, one day,
And being not far land,
And I spied a mermaid a-sitting on a rock
With a and a glass in her hand.
The song she sang, she so sweet,
But no at all could us make,
at last our gallant ship she tooked round about
Which all our poor hearts to ache.
Then up stepped the of our ship
In his hand a lead and
All for to sound the seas, my boys, that is so wide and
But to rock or sand could he find.
Then up the captain of our ship
And a man is he,
He says," I have a wife, my boys, in fair Plymouth
But this night a she will be."

And I fear they will be.

For the want of a in the ocean we were lost
And most of our men drowned.

singing of James Herridge, 1906
