The Doom Bar Lyrics by Loveridge

As the Crow Flies

2020

[Verse 1]
In Padstow Bay where the mermaids dwell
There's a bar of sand we compare to hell
Toss you around an unforgiving swell
And it'll drag you down below
[Verse 2]
It was put there by a mermaid fair
Who was killed as she sat in the morning air
All you sailors better beware
Sailing in the Bay of 'Stow
[Chorus]
And the doom bar rules the bay
She will take your breath away
Tide's times are getting worse
We all fear the mermaid's curse
[Verse 3]
Whilst hunting seals Tom Yeo did stray
To a merry-maid sat down by the bay
Beauty stole his breath away
And his heart was filled with love
[Verse 4]
But such a fool as him she would never wed
If he couldn't have her living, then he'd see her dead
The gun barrel flashed and the sea ran red
And the storm cloud raged above
[Chorus]
And the doom bar rules the bay
She will take your breath away
Tide's times are getting worse
We all fear the mermaid's curse
[Verse 5]
In the throws of death out of her hand
Flew raging gales and golden sand
Filled the bay from land to land
And the doom bar, she was born
[Verse 6]
Well Tom Yeo, for your vanity
I will curse this quiet stretch of sea
The price you'll pay for the life of me
Is a life of pain and scorn
[Chorus]
And the doom bar rules the bay
She will take your breath away
Tide's times are getting worse
We all fear the mermaid's curse
[Chorus]
The doom bar rules the bay
She will take your breath away
Tide's times are getting worse
We all fear the mermaid's curse
[Outro]
We all fear the mermaid's curse
Tide's times are getting worse
