EDDYSTONE LIGHT



(GCCG) C - - - / F G C - : / /



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!



G G / G C



Yo ho ho, the wind blows free,

Oh for the life on the rolling sea!



One night, as I was a-trimming of the glim

Singing a verse from the evening hymn

A voice on the starboard shouted "Ahoy!"

And there was my mother, a-sitting on a buoy.



CHORUS



"Oh, where are the rest of my children three?"

My mother then she asked of me.

One was exhibited as a talking fish

The other was served from a chafing dish.



CHORUS



Then the phosphorous flashed in her seaweed hair.

I looked again, and my mother wasn't there

But her voice came echoing back from the night

"To Hell with the keeper of the Eddystone Light!"



CHORUS
