The Eddystone Light 歌詞
The Eddystone Light - Burl Ives (伯爾·艾夫斯)/Ralph Hunt Singers
Written by：Public Domain
My 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
Yo ho ho the wind blows free
Oh for a life on the rolling sea
One night while I was a trimmin' of the glim
A singin' a verse from the evening hymn
A voice from the starboard shouted ahoy
And there was my mother a sittin' on a buoy
Yo ho ho the wind blows free
Oh for a life on the rolling sea
Oh what has become of my children three
My mother then she asked of me
One was exhibited as a talking fish
And the other was served in a chafing dish
Yo ho ho the wind blows free
Oh for a life on the rolling sea
Then the phosphorus flashed in her seaweed hair
I looked again and my mother wasn't there
A voice come a echoing out through the night
The hell with the keeper of the Eddystone light
Yo ho ho the wind blows free
Oh for a life on the rolling sea
