6688-87-7-87-7-66 It was Friday morn when we set sail
66-67-7-8-77 And we were not far from the land
6688-87-7-87-7-66 When our captain he spied a mermaid so fair
66-67-7-8-77 With a comb and a glass in her hand
6666-667 And the ocean waves do roll
7-88887-8 And the stormy winds do blow
688-8776-6-77-66 And we poor sailors are skipping at the top
66-677-7-8 While the landlubbers lie down
67-7789 Below, below, below
