It's worth the rather steep price. We had a grand time with it. Especially with the new 2nd edition rules.

I perform with a group called the Seadogs (a.k.a Paddy West) out of the San Francisco Bay area. I'm primarily a vocalist but I play the guitar and Cittern. I'm currently learning the Accordion and hope to get some lessons on the upright Bass.

Don't forget The Demon Ship and Henry Martin!

Ahoy!

The Seadogs have a version of this too on their cd "Maiden Voyage."

The Mermaid

'Twas Friday morn when we set sail

And we were not far from the land

When the captain espied a fishy mermaid

With a comb and a glass in her hand

Well, the ocean waves may roll, And the stormy winds may blow

While we poor sailors go skipping to the top, And the landlubbers lie down below, below, below

And the landlubbers lie down below

Then up spoke the captain of our famous ship

And a well-spoken captain was he

This fishy mermaid has warned me of our doom

And tonight we drowned shall be

Well, the ocean waves may roll, And the stormy winds may blow

While we poor sailors go skipping to the top, And the landlubbers lie down below, below, below

And the landlubbers lie down below

Then up spoke the cabin boy of our famous ship

And a well-spoken cabin boy was he

I've a mother and a father in Salem-By-The-Sea

And tonight they childless shall be

Well, the ocean waves may roll, And the stormy winds may blow

While we poor sailors go skipping to the top, And the landlubbers lie down below, below, below

And the landlubbers lie down below

Then up spoke the cookie of our gallant ship

And a well-spoken cookie was he

I care much more for me pots and me pans

Than I do for the bottom of the sea

Well, the ocean waves may roll, And the stormy winds may blow

While we poor sailors go skipping to the top, And the landlubbers lie down below, below, below

And the landlubbers lie down below

Then three times around went our gallant ship

And three times around went she

O, Three times around went our gallant ship

And she sank to the bottom of the sea

Well, the ocean waves may roll, And the stormy winds may blow

While we poor sailors go skipping to the top, And the landlubbers lie down below, below, below

And the landlubbers lie down below

Here are a few of the sites I go to for research.
