Summary: A mermaid hears the singing of a pretty boy and bodes him to join her in the sea, away from the troubles of the land.
Transcript:
I heard thee sing in the church above the ocean
I heard thee sing, my Pretty Boy
Far from my jaunty palaces,
I have come to thee my Pretty Boy
I to thee, will give my maiden virtues
I to thee my maiden joy
Sleep within my ocean land
Sleep with me my Pretty Boy, and live with me
Far away from earthly cares above;
Far away from earthly cares above
There is no Death any sweeter than my living
There is no death where I belong
Far from the world of dying men
Come now, away with me, my Pretty Boy
Thou shalt be a prince among the princes
Thou shalt be a prince of high degree
Oh, man of beauty
Oh men and maid, both of high degree
Come away with me, beneath the sea,
Come away with me, beneath the sea
Green are mine eyes, as the waters of the ocean
Red, mine hair, my Pretty Boy
White, mine breasts up on the waves
All I will give to thee my Pretty Boy
Soft, mine arms that I shalt put around thee,
Soft too my lips that I shalt yield
Deep within our Ocean bed
Deep within, my Pretty Boy, just you and I
Far away from Earthly cares above
Far away from earthly cares above
Far, far away
Far away
