DANCES WITH MERMAIDS© Christopher Jessop May 2025
Verse 1
O she is a Marloes girl, grew up with the sound of the Sea:
A proper girl of Marloes, always must feel free.
Take her from Moel Rhos, even just to town…
Anywhere up country, this girl can feel down!
Chorus
Dances With Mermaids is her hidden name,
Dances With Mermaids, in the blue and green again!
Dances With Mermaids, all times of year
Dances With Mermaids, never any fear.
Verse 2
So do they come, those sirens, every time she swims?
Only if she’s all alone, beautiful and slim.
Then she will dive, knowing they’ll be there,
Waiting below the waves: Farewell, dull care!
Chorus
Verse 3
She will dance with mermaids all her blessed life:
Still trysts with those sea-girls, if she becomes a wife.
No man will ever understand all that this girl is:
She’d be mysterious to a sister, such a secret bliss!
