Captain Jack and the MermaidCopyright © Meg Davis 1975- All Rights ReservedLeelanau Heritage Arts Publishing Co. / BMI Lyrics posted by permission of the author
PART ONE : Captain Jack was a young man when he went to sea,Oh, me young Ladies, go and kiss him goodbye. He was barely a child of twenty and three, Oh, tell him, young Ladies, go and tell him for me, He can marry the Mermaid that lives in the sea.
Well, I loved Captain Jack and his bride I would be,
But his ship it had needed a Captain one day,
When three years had passed and his ship had returned, But my Jack was not there when I went to see,
PART TWO : It was almost eight bells and Jack had the watch,He was finning and scaling the fish he had caught, When out of the sea there rose such a tune As he had not heard by the light of the moon. He looked o'er to the waters and what saw he there "I have followed your ship for many a mile. Well, Jack was in love with the beautiful girl We tolled the bell loud, we tolled the bell long, "I have long loved the Lady who lives on the land, And that is the story I heard from the crew,
PART THREE : Captain Jack was a young man when he went to sea,Oh, me young Ladies, go and kiss him goodbye. He was barely a child of twenty and three, Oh, tell him, young Ladies, go and tell him for me, He can marry the Mermaid that lives in the sea.
Tell him, young Ladies, go and tell him for me,
