Dm C

On the blue waters of mermaids

I was sailing on the blue

Dm C Bb

Brought up a catch of strangest wonder

On the blue

But it was gone, back to the lake

And vanished into the blue

The waters, they parted

Bb C

As she rose to shine

[Chorus]

She was my maid, my wife-to-be

Returned to me this one time

Woe to you, she said to me

Bb C

As she broke cover of the blue

Don’t you know me?

I couldn’t be yours after all

The waters, they parted

As she rose to shine

[Chorus]
