The Eddystone Light - The Brothers Four[00:00:00]

Written by：The Brothers Four[00:00:00]

Yo ho here's a tale[00:00:04]

That's near and dear to the hearts of those that sail[00:00:09]

'Bout a lighthouse keeper and his mermaid wife[00:00:14]

Who joined together for a different life[00:00:16]

Yo ho the winds and waters tell this tale[00:00:18]

My father was the keeper of the Eddystone light[00:00:25]

He married a mermaid one fine night[00:00:28]

From this union there came three[00:00:30]

A porpoise and a porgy and the other was me[00:00:33]

Yo ho ho the wind blows free[00:00:35]

Oh for a life on the rolling sea[00:00:40]

Late one night I was trimming the glim[00:00:47]

While singing a verse from the evening hymn[00:00:49]

A voice from starboard shouted ahoy[00:00:52]

And there was my mother sitting on a buoy[00:00:54]

Yo ho ho the wind blows free[00:00:57]

Oh for a life on the rolling sea[00:01:02]

Tell me what has become of my children three[00:01:09]

My mother she did ask of me[00:01:11]

One was exhibited as a talking fish[00:01:14]

The other was served on a chafing dish[00:01:16]

Yo ho ho the wind blows free[00:01:19]

Oh for a life on the rolling sea[00:01:24]

Then the phosphorous flashed in her seaweed hair[00:01:31]

I looked again and me mother wasn't there[00:01:33]

A voice came echoing out of the night[00:01:36]

To hell with the keeper of the Eddystone light[00:01:38]

Yo ho ho the wind blows free[00:01:41]

Oh for a life on the rolling sea[00:01:46]

Yo ho[00:01:53]

Yo ho[00:01:55]

Yo ho[00:01:57]

Yo ho[00:02:00]

Yo ho[00:02:02]
