A young fellow fell overboard, amongst the sharks and whales
And then his ghost appear-i-ed, saying weep no more for me
'Cos I'm mar-ri-ed to a mer-mi-ed at the bottom of the deep blue sea.
Chorus: Singing Rule Britannia, Britain rules the waves
Britons never, never, never shall be
Mar-ri-ed to a mer-mi-ed
At the bottom of the deep blue sea
Surprised will be my com-ri-ades and the friends I've left on the shore
And my poor grandmother, whom, alas I never shall see more
When she hears as I've been summoned away quite suddenlee
To be mar-ri-ed to a mer-mi-ed at the bottom of the deep blue sea.
Chorus:
There's a broken sixpence in my purse, likewise, a lock of hair
To Sally I solicitise, as you will safely bear
And you will say unto her, it was bare necessitee
That made me wed this mer-mi-ed at the bottom of the deep blue sea.
Chorus:
'Tis true, that to refresh myself no baccy now I gets
But, then, as with respects to that, myself I never frets
For all the joys of life are immaterial to me
Now I'm mar-ri-ed to a mer-mi-ed at the bottom of the deep blue sea.
Chorus:
When I see'd and hear'd this here drowned man
my limbs with terror shook
I ax'ed him qui-es-ti-ons, for the words my lips foresook
And then straightways he swooned, and said no more to me
But dived down to his mer-mi-ed at the bottom of the deep blue sea.
