MY FATHER WAS THE KEEPER OF THE EDDYSTONE LIGHT
(C D7) G
HE MARRIED A MERMAID ONE FINE NIGHT
FROM THIS UNION THERE CAME THREE
(C D7) G
A PORPOISE, A PORGY, AND THE OTHER WAS ME
YO HO HO, THE WIND BLOWS FREE
OH FOR THE LIFE ON THE ROLLING SEA
LATE ONE NIGHT I WAS TRIMMING THE GLIM
(C D7) G
WHILE SINGING A VERSE FROM THE EVENING HYMN
A VOICE FROM STARBOARD SHOUTED "AHOY!"
(C D7) G
AND THERE WAS ME MOTHER SITTING ON A BUOY
YO HO HO, THE WIND BLOWS FREE
OH FOR THE LIFE ON THE ROLLING SEA
WHAT HAS BECOME OF MY CHILDREN THREE?
(C D7) G
ME MOTHER SHE DID ASK OF ME
ONE WAS EXHIBITED AS A TALKING FISH
(C D7) G
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 PHOSPHORUS FLASHED IN HER SEAWEED HAIR
(C D7) G
I LOOKED AGAIN AND ME MOTHER WASN'T THERE
A VOICE CAME ECHOING OUT OF THE NIGHT
(C D7) G
I DON'T LIKE THE KEEPER OF THE EDDYSTONE LIGHT
YO HO HO, THE WIND BLOWS FREE
OH FOR THE LIFE ON THE ROLLING SEA
