[Verse]
Well it was Friday morn as we set sail,
We were not far from the land,
When the captain, he spied a lovely mermaid,
With a comb and a glass in her hand.

[Chorus]
And the ocean winds do roar, (Do roar!)
And the stormy winds do blow,
And we poor sailors boys go skipping at the top,
As the landlubbers lie down below, (Below! Below!)
The landlubbers lie down below.

[Verse]
Well up spoke the cook of our gallant ship,
And a crazy old butcher was he,
He said, "I care much more for my pots and my pans
Than I do for the bottom of the sea."

[Chorus]
And the ocean winds do roar, (Do roar!)
And the stormy winds do blow,
We poor sailors boys go skipping at the top,
As the landlubbers lie down below, (Below! Below!)
The landlubbers lie down below.

[Verse]
Well it three times around spun our gallant ship
And three times around spun she
Well it three times around spun our gallant ship
And she sank to the bottom of the sea

[Chorus]
And the ocean winds do roar, (Do roar!)
And the stormy winds do blow,
And we poor sailors boys go skipping at the top,
As the landlubbers lie down below, (Below! Below!)
The landlubbers lie down below.
