"A Sailor Went to Sea, Sea, Sea" 是首非常著名的兒歌，歌詞如下：
A sailor went to sea, sea, sea
To seek a new career
And every day he sailed along
With a pocketful of song
A dove on a Christmas tree
Called out its melody
But he had no time to pay he thought
As he sailed the rolling sea
Soon a boat came into view
And on it he did spy
Three beautiful mermaids, so fine
A princess of the sea
He sent his little boat ashore
And began to build a fire
And when they came to see the scene
He sang a song with glee
Oh, a sailor went to sea, sea, sea
To seek a new career
And when he found the mermaid fair
He knew his fortune was near
So he said, "I'll take you to my home
And we'll live together so true"
And she said, "Oh no, I must go back
To my mermaids and sea"
So the sailor said, "Oh well, I'll sail away
And I'll find another day"
And she said, "Oh yes, you must sail on away
To seek another sea"
