GUEST,Richard Chamberlain Lyr Req: the mermaid and the cabin boy (22) RE: Lyr Req: the mermaid and the cabin boy 26 Jan 10


We sang this song in kindergarten in England in about 1962. I'm sure it came from the BBC as one reviewer mentions. We had an end-of-term show in the local village hall and I got to sing it solo. Those were the days!

From what I remember these are the first two verses:

Oh once I heard a mermaid Sing
As I sailed the sea, the dee-ep blue sea
Oh once I heard a mermaid sing
As I sailed the briny ocean

Oh-h cabin boy come and play with me
As I swim the sea, the de-ep blue sea
Oh cabin boy come and play with me
As I swim the briny ocean

That's all I can remember, but it brings back very fond memories!
