In the year of our lorde 1740, by grace

And formed the young town of Lockville on shores steep;

And soon came a man, Ambrose Ramsey by name,

Where theres hungry men working, some coin can be made!

So a Tavern he built, on the banks of The Fear,
F# A# G# F# G# F#
Serving sturgeon, and stew, and plenty of beer;
F# G# A# G#
Song and good cheer shook the bar to its bones,
F# A# G# F# G# F#
Til patrons grew weary and headed for homes.
B A# B A#
One eve staggering home long the path by the shore,
G# A# G# F# G# A#
Twas the Brothers McNeill heard a lyrical roar;
B A# B A#
From out on the sands twixt the the shores far and near,
G# A# G# F# G# F#
Shimmered mystical forms uncommon and queer:

Tis a mermaid, just there! Stammered one to the other.
F# A# G# F# G# F#
I see her, for sure! And there is another!
F# G# A# G#
Splashing and laughing and singing their tunes,
F# A# G# F# G# F#
Combing flaxen long hair in the shine of the moon.
B A# B A#
But why way up here, so far from the sea?
G# A# G# F# G#
To rid of the salts and the brine and the weeds!
B A# B A#
They swim from the coast, sure vanity their star!

Soon night after night mermaids shone a pattern;
F# A# G# F# G# F#
In the shine of the moon and the grog of the tavern.
F# G# A# G#
Nere they appeared in the light of the day,
F# A# G# F# G# F#
In the clearness of mind, or when absinthes away
B A# B A#
Ore time ole Lockville met with decay;
G# A# G# F# G# A#
Fast water stole sand whence mermaids once laid;
B A# B A#
Old Ramseys stood til floods rose and climbed;
B A# G# A# G# F# G F#
But the lore of our sirens survive ebbs of time.
