Eddystone Light Lyrics

Me father was the keeper of the Eddystone Light

And corded a mermaid one fine night

From this union there came free

A porpoise and a porgy and the other was me

Yo ho ho, the wind blows free

Oh, for the life on the rolling sea

One night, while I was trimming of the glim

Singing a verse from the evening hymn

A voice from the starboard shouted, "Ahoy"

And there was me mother, a-sitting on the buoy

Don't be ridiculous the buoy is a jubilant male

No a buoy, it guides the ships to sail

Tell me what has become of my children of three ?

My mother then she asked of me

One was exhibited as a talking fish

And the other was served on a chafing dish

Yo ho ho, the wind blows free

Oh, for the life on the rolling sea

Then the phosphorous flashed in her seaweed hair

I looked again me mother wasn't there

Her voice came echoing out of the night

"Where the devil with the keeper of the Eddystone Light"

Oh, yo ho ho, the wind blows free

Oh, for the life on the rolling sea
