Eddystone Light (Album Version) - The Brothers Four[00:00:00]
Written by:McGayden/J. E. Cason[00:00:01]
Yo ho here's a tale[00:00:05]
That's fair and dear to the hearts of those that sail[00:00:09]
'Bout a lighthouse keeper and his bare faced wife[00:00:14]
Who joined together for a different life[00:00:16]
Yo ho the winds and water tell the tale[00:00:19]
My father was the keeper of the eddystone light[00:00:26]
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 one me[00:00:33]
Yo ho ho the wind blows free[00:00:35]
Oh for the life on the rolling sea[00:00:41]
Late one night I was a trimming of the glim[00:00:48]
While singing a verse from the evening hymn[00:00:50]
A voice on the starboard shouted ahoy[00:00:52]
And there was my mother a sitting on a boy[00:00:55]
Yo ho ho the wind blows free[00:00:57]
Oh for the life on the rolling sea[00:01:02]
Tell me what has become of my children three[00:01:09]
My mother she did asked 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 the 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 from 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 the life on the rolling sea[00:01:46]
Yo ho yo ho[00:01:53]
Yo ho yo ho yo ho[00:01:57]
