Parsonsfield - Let the Mermaids Flirt With Me lyrics

There's blues all in the ocean There's blues all in the air I can't stay no longer here For I have no steamship fare When my earthly trials are over Carry my body out to the sea Save on all the undertaker bills Let the mermaids flirt with me Oh, I do not work for pleasure Earthly peace, I'll see no more Idle hands on a working man Brings the devil to my door When my earthly trials are over Carry my body out to the sea Save on all the undertaker bills Let the mermaids flirt with me Let the mermaids flirt with me Let the mermaids flirt with me Save on all the undertaker bills Let the mermaids flirt with me My wife controls our happy home My darling, I cannot find Now the only thing that I call my own Is a troubled and a worried mind When my earthly trials are over Carry my body out to the sea Save on all the undertaker bills Let the mermaids flirt with me There's blues all in my body My darling has forsaken me If I ever see her face again I'd have to swim across the sea When my earthly trials are over Carry my body out to the sea Save on all the undertaker bills Let the mermaids flirt with me Let the mermaids flirt with me Let the mermaids flirt with me Save on all the undertaker bills Let the mermaids flirt with me Let the mermaids flirt with me Let the mermaids flirt with me Save on all the undertaker bills Let the mermaids flirt with me Let the mermaids flirt with me Let the mermaids flirt with me Save on all the undertaker bills Let the mermaids flirt with me Oh, save on all the undertaker bills Let the mermaids flirt with me (And I say) Save on all the undertaker bills Let the mermaids flirt with me
