peter paul mary - the eddystone light lyrics

Loading...

oh, my father was the keeper of the eddystone light
and he slept with a mermaid one fine night.
from this union there sprang three,
a porpoise and a porgy and the other was me.

chorus:
yo ho ho, the wind blows free, ho for the life on the rolling sea

one night when i was a-trimmin’ of the glim
singin’ a verse from the evening hymn
a voice from the starboard shouted, “ahoy!”
and there was my mother a-sittin’ on the buoy

chorus

“oh what has become of my 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

the phosporus flashed in her seaweed hair
i looked again, and my mother wasn’t there
but her voice came an echoing back through the night:
“to h-ll with the keeper of the eddystone light!”

- peter paul mary
