Me 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 me 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
