Eddystone Light (Bonus Track) 歌词

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
