The Brothers Four - Eddystone Light
Yo ho Here's a tale
That's fair and dear to the hearts of those that sail
'Bout a lighthouse keeper and his bare faced wife
Who joined together for a different life
Yo ho The winds and water tell the tale
My father was the keeper of the Eddystone light
He married a mermaid one fine night
From this union there came three
A porpoise and a porgy and the other one me
Yo ho ho the wind blows free
Oh for the life on the rolling sea
Late one night I was a trimming of the glim
While singing a verse from the evening hymn
A voice on the starboard shouted Ahoy
And there was my mother a sitting on a buoy
Yo ho ho the wind blows free
Oh for the life on the rolling sea
Tell me what has become of my children three
My mother she did asked of me
One was exhibited as a talking fish
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 and me mother wasn't there
A voice came echoing out from the night
To Hell with the keeper of the Eddystone Light
Yo ho ho the wind blows free
Oh for the life on the rolling sea
Yo ho Yo ho
Yo ho Yo ho Yo ho
