| My father was the keeper of the Eddystone Light
|
| And he slept with a mermaid one fine night
|
| From this union there came three
|
| A porpoise and a porgy and the other was me
|
| Yo, ho, ho, the wind blows free, oh, for a life on the rolling sea
|
| One night while I was a-trimmin' of the glim
|
| A-singin' a verse from the evening hymn
|
| A voice from the starboard shouted, «Ahoy!»
|
| And there was my mother a-sittin' on a buoy
|
| Yo, ho, ho, the wind blows free, oh, for a life on the rolling sea
|
| «Oh, what has become of my children three?»
|
| My mother then she asked of me
|
| «One was exhibited as a talking fish
|
| And the other was served in a chafing dish»
|
| Yo, ho, ho, the wind blows free, oh, for a life on the rolling sea
|
| Then the phosphorus flashed in her seaweed hair
|
| I looked again, and my mother wasn’t there
|
| A voice come a-echoing out through the night:
|
| «To Hell with the keeper of the Eddystone Light!»
|
| Yo, ho, ho, the wind blows free, oh, for a life on the rolling sea |
