An Old Song
“On a bright May morning,”
An Old Song.
On a bright May morning. as we set sail. We were not far fo from land, when a fair mermaid we spied, she had a comb, and a glass in her hand.
Three times around went our gallant ship. Three times around went she.
Till she sank to the bottom of the sea.
