Peter, Paul & Mary - The Eddystone Light Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Oh, me 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
  • Chorus:
  • Yo ho ho, the wind blows free, oh for the life on the rolling sea
  • One day as I was a-trimmin the glim
  • Humming a tune from the evening hymn
  • A voice from the starboard shouted, ahoy!
  • And there was me mother a-sittin on the buoy
  • Chorus
  • Oh what has become of me children three?
  • Me mother then she asked of me
  • One was exhibited as a talking fish
  • The other was served in a chafing dish
  • Chorus
  • Then the phosporus flashed in her seaweed hair
  • I looked again, but me mother wasnt there
  • But I heard her voice echoing back through the night:
  • The devil take the keeper of the eddystone light!
  • Chorus
  • Oh the moral of the story youll learn when you find
  • To leave gods creatures for what nature had in mind
  • For fishes are for cookin, mermaids are for tales
  • Seaweed is for sushi and protecting is for whales
  • Chorus
