Eddystone Light (Bonus Track) Lyrics
Eddystone Light - Weavers
My father was the keeper
Of the eddystone light
And corded a mermaid one fine night
From this union there came free
A porpoise and a porgy and the other was me
Yo ho ho the wind blows free
Oh for the life on the rolling sea
One night while I was trimming of the glim
Singing a verse from the evening hymn
A voice from the starboard shouted ahoy
And there was me mother a sitting on the buoy
Don't be ridiculous the buoy is a jubilant male
No a buoy it guides the ships to sail
Tell me what has become
Of my children of three
My mother then she asked of me
One was exhibited as a talking fish
And the other was served on a chafing dish
Yo ho ho the wind blows free
Oh for the life on the rolling sea
Then the phosphorous flashed
In her seaweed hair
I looked again my mother wasn't there
Her voice came echoing out of the night
Where the devil with the keeper
Of the eddystone light
Oh yo ho ho the wind blows free
Oh for the life on the rolling sea
