I am looking for the lyrics to an Irish song called "Captain Jack". It's a wonderful song about a sailor who, although betrothed to a lovely girl, heads out to sea for three years. When his ship returns, Captain Jack is not aboard ship. He has fallen in love with a beautiful mermaid who has captured his heart. Now, he asks a question of the woman on land, to which she replies, "he can marry the mermaid that lives in the sea". This song is featured on a recently released DeDanann CD, and I'm hoping someone can help me find the lyrics. Any help would be appreciated!!
