Here's a song request that came up in the thread about Irish Newfoundland songs, but I thought it might have more chance of getting people looking for it in a thread of its own. It sounds like an interesting song to track down:

Hello out there. I've just stumbled across this website and it looks great. I'm looking for the lyrics to a song that my mother sang to me while growing up in Newfoundland. I only remember the Chorus. It goes like this:

and the ship went down to the bottom of the sea,
and the mermaids there watched over me,
tra la la la, la la la la
tra la la, la la la la la
the ship went down to the bottom of the sea,
and the mermaids there watched over me.

I've always loved that song. My mom knew it by heart but she's gone now and I've been racking my brain trying to find it. If anyone out there recognizes the Chorus and knows the song, I would be tickled pink if you could post it.
Regards
Catherine
