Luyện nghe bài hát The Mermaid

The
One as I lay on my bed,
I lay so asleep,
When the thought of my true love running to my head
And poor that sail on the deep.
As I out one day, one day,
And being not far land,
And there I a mermaid a-sitting on a rock
With a comb and a in her hand.
The she sang, she sang so sweet,
But no at all could us make,
Till at our gallant ship she tooked round about
Which all our poor hearts to ache.
up stepped the helmsman of our ship
In his a lead and line;
All for to sound the seas, my boys, is so wide and deep
But to hard rock or could he find.
up stepped the captain of our ship
And a man is he,
He says," I a wife, my boys, in fair Plymouth town
But this a widow she will be."
Then up stepped the of our ship
And a man was he,
He says, "I two sons, my boys, in fair Bristol town
And orphans I fear they be.
And then up stepped the little boy
And a boy was he,
He says, "Oh I grieve for my own dear
Whom I nevermore see."
"Last night, when the shined bright
My mother had five,
But now she may in the salt, salt sea
And but one alive."
Call a boat, call a boat, my fair Plymouth
you hear how the trumpets sound?
For the want of a in the ocean we were lost
And most of our men drowned.
From Penguin of English Folk Songs (Williams and Lloyd)
singing of James Herridge, 1906
