The Eddystone Light - Burl Ives (布勒·埃夫斯)[00:00:00]

My father was the keeper of the Eddystone Light[00:00:03]

And he slept with a mermaid one fine night[00:00:05]

From this union there came three[00:00:08]

A porpoise and a porgy and the other was me[00:00:11]

Yo ho ho the wind blows free[00:00:13]

Oh for a life on the rolling sea[00:00:16]

One night while I was a-trimmin' of the glim[00:00:21]

A-singin' a verse from the evening hymn[00:00:24]

A voice from the starboard shouted "Ahoy "[00:00:26]

And there was my mother a-sittin' on a boy[00:00:29]

Yo ho ho the wind blows free[00:00:32]

Oh for a life on the rolling sea[00:00:34]

"Oh what has become of my children three "[00:00:39]

My mother then she asked of me[00:00:42]

"One was exhibited as a talking fish[00:00:44]

And the other was served in a chafing dish "[00:00:46]

Yo ho ho the wind blows free[00:00:49]

Oh for a life on the rolling sea[00:00:52]

Then the phosphorus flashed in her seaweed hair[00:00:56]

I looked again and my mother wasn't there[00:00:59]

A voice come a-echoing out through the night[00:01:02]

"To Hell with the keeper of the Eddystone Light "[00:01:04]

Yo ho ho the wind blows free[00:01:06]

Oh for a life on the rolling sea[00:01:09]
