Married To A Mermaid

Here's to the grog, boys, the jolly, jolly grog
Here's to the rum and tobacco
I've a-spent all my tin with the lassies drinking gin
And to cross the briny ocean I must wander


That one's from the sea-shanty classic "Here's To The Grog." Hey, Ho!
Lesley Nelson has a fantastic website dedicated to Songs of the Sea. Information, lyrics, and midi files - SoftheS has got it all.

Oh, Lovely Molly.
Don't let my long absence be a bother to you, dear
Don't let my long journey cause you any pain
Although we are parted I will be true hearted
And I will return in the springtime again.
