The Eddystone Light |
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 |
