this pattern repeats for each verse):
When I was a lad in a fishing town,
Me old man said to me:
You can spend your life, your jolly life,
Just sailing on the sea.
You can search the world for pretty girls,
till your eyes are weak and dim,
But dont go searching for the mermaid son,
If you dont know how to swim.
Cause her hair was green as seaweed,
Her skin was blue and pale,
Her face it was a work of art,
I loved that girl with all my heart,
But I only like the upper part,
I did not like the tail.
Q..
Enjoy!
