John Phillips - Captain

Sailin' out one red spring morn'
Sailin' far out of sight of any land
Da da da, da da da

I spied a mermaid sittin' on a rock
With a comb and a glass in her hand
(With a comb in her hand)

This little mermaid, she sprang into the deep
You know the sea began to roll
Some poor sailor boy strugglin' in the deep
Yeah, yeah lord, safe on the shore
(He was safe on the shore)

Well, the first on deck, the captain of the ship
(Yes, the first on deck, the captain of the ship)
Good lookin', good lookin', good lookin', man was he
Said that we might sink or we might swim
And I'd be down to the bottom of the sea

And I have a wife and three little babies
Three little babies waitin' ashore for me, yes I do
They might wait until the salt seas rise
I'd be down to the bottom of the sea

Well, the next on deck, the wicked cabin boy
(The little cabin boy)
A wicked, wicked man was he
Says I care no more for my wife and my baby
Than I do for the bottom of the sea, yeah, yeah
The bottom of the sea, yeah, yeah
The bottom of the sea, yeah, yeah
The bottom of the sea
The bottom of the sea, yeah, yeah
The bottom of the sea
