The Mermaid
F Bb F
It was Friday morn when we set sail

And we were not far from the land
F Bb F
When the captain, he spied a mermaid so fair
Bb C F
With a comb and a glass in her hand
Refrain:
F C
And the ocean's waves do roll and the stormy winds do blow
F Bb F
And we poor sailors are skipping to the top
Bb C F
While the landlubbers lie down below, below, below
Bb C F
While the landlubbers lie down below
F Bb F
And up spoke the captain of our gallant ship
Bb C F
And a fine spoken man was he
F Bb F
This fishy mermaid has warned me of our doom

We shall sink to the bottom of the sea

And up spoke the cook of our gallant ship
Bb C F
And a crazy old butcher was he

I care much more for my pots and my pans
Bb C F
Than I do for the bottom of the sea

F Bb F
Then three times around spun our gallant ship
Bb C F
And three times around spun she
F Bb F
And three times around spun our gallant ship

Saying, "Stand and deliver for you are a bold deceiver."

Rock Road to Dublin
Dm Dm
In the merry month of June, When first from home I started
Dm C
Left the girls of Tuam, So sad and broken hearted
Dm Dm
Saluted Bbather dear, Kissed me darlin' Mother
Dm C
And drank a pint of beer, Me grief and tears to smother
Dm C Dm C
Then off to reap the corn, Leave where I was born
Dm C C C
Cut a stout blackthorn, To banish ghosts and goblin
Dm C Dm C
Bought a pair of brogues, Rattle over the bogs
Dm C C C
Frightened all the dogs, On the rocky road to Dublin
Dm C Dm
One, Two, Three, Four, Five
Dm Dm
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
C Dm C Dm
And all the ways to Dublin, Whack fol la de da
Dm Dm
When in Mullingar that night, I rested limbs so weary
Dm C
Started by daylight, Me spirits bright and early
Dm Dm
Took a drop o' pure, Keep me heart from sinking
Dm C
That's a paddy's cure, Whenever he's on drinking
Dm C Dm C
To see the lassie's smile, Laughing all the while
Dm C C C
At me curious style, Would set your heart to bubbling
Dm C Dm C
Asked me I was hired, Wages I required
Dm C C C
I was almost tired, On the rocky road to Dublin
Dm C Dm
One, Two, Three, Four, Five
Dm Dm
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
C Dm C Dm
And all the ways to Dublin, Whack fol la de da
Dm Dm
Well in Dublin next arrived, I thought it be a pity
Dm C
To be so soon deprived, D view of that fine city
Dm Dm
Then I took a stroll, All among the quality
Dm C
Me bundle it was stole, In a neat locality
Dm C Dm C
Something crossed me mind, When I looked behind
Dm C C C
No bundle could I find, Upon me stick a wobbling
Dm C Dm C
Enquiring after the rogue, They said me Connacht brouge
Dm C C C
Wasn't much in vogue, On the rocky road to Dublin
Dm C Dm
One, Two, Three, Four, Five
Dm Dm
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
C Dm C Dm
And all the ways to Dublin, Whack fol la de da
Dm Dm
Well, From there I got away, Me spirits never failing
Dm C
Landed on the quay, Just as the ship was sailing
Dm Dm
Faptain at me roared, Said that no room had he
Dm C
When I jumped aboard, D cabin found for Paddy
Dm C Dm C
Down among the pigs, Played some hearty rigs
Dm C C C
Ganced some hearty jigs, The water round me bubblin'
Dm C Dm C
When off Holyhead, I wished meself was dead
Dm C C C
Or, Better far instead, On the rocky road to Dublin
Dm C Dm
One, Two, Three, Four, Five
Dm Dm
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
C Dm C Dm
And all the ways to Dublin, Whack fol la de da
Dm Dm
Well, The boys of Liverpool, When we safely landed
Dm C
Falled meself a fool, I could no longer stand it
Dm Dm
Blood began to boil, Temper I was losing
Dm C
Poor ould Erins Isle, They began abusing
Dm C Dm C
Hurrah me soul says I, Shillelagh I let fly
Dm C C C
Some Calway boys were by, Saw I was a-hollerin'
Dm C Dm C
Then with a loud horray, They joined in the affray
Dm C C C
We quickly cleared the way, For the rocky road to Dublin
Dm C Dm
One, Two, Three, Four, Five
Dm Dm
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
C Dm C Dm
And all the ways to Dublin, Whack fol la de daaaa

Black Velvet Band
F F F C
In a neat little town they call Belfast, apprenticed to trade I was bound
F Dm Bb C F
And many's the hour of sweet happiness, I spent in that neat little town
F F F C
Till sad misfortune came over me, which caused me to stray from the land
F Dm Bb C F
Far away from me friends and relations, betrayed by the black velvet band
F F F C Her eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her the queen of the land F Dm Bb C F And her hair it hung over her shoulder, tied up with a black velvet band
F F F C
I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid, and a gentleman passing us by
F Dm Bb C F
I knew she meant the undoing of me, by the look in her roguish black eye
F F F C
A gold watch she took from his pocket, and she placed it right into me hand
F Dm Bb C F
And the very first thing that I thought was, bad luck to the black velvet band
F F F C Her eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her the queen of the land F Dm Bb C F And her hair it hung over her shoulder, tied up with a black velvet bandF F F C
Now before a judge and a jury, next morning I had to appear
F Dm Bb C F
Oh the judge he said to me "Young man, your case is proven clear
F F F C
We'll give you seven years' penal servitude, to be spent far away from the land.
F Dm Bb C F
Far away from your friends and relations, betrayed by the black velvet band
F F F C Her eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her the queen of the land F Dm Bb C F And her hair it hung over her shoulder, tied up with a black velvet band
F F F C
So come all ye jolly young fellows, and a warning take by me
F Dm Bb C F
For when you are out on the town me lads, beware of them pretty colleens
F F F C
For they'll feed you with strong ale "More Yeah", until you are unable to stand
F Dm Bb C F
And the very next thing that you know me lads, is you've landed in Van Diemen's Land
F F F C Her eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her the queen of the land F Dm Bb C F And her hair it hung over her shoulder, tied up with a black velvet bandF F F C Her eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her the queen of the land F Dm Bb C F And her hair it hung over her shoulder, tied up with a black velvet band
