If you remember this song from your childhood, you might have some nostalgia for it, but other than that, I predict it will have little appeal. I post it here mainly for completeness: LIGHTHOUSE SONG Words and music by Cam Morris As recorded by Burt Taylor with Percy Faith and His Orchestra on Columbia 39557, 1951. CHORUS: Ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling went the old lighthouse bell, Over the ocean so blue. Ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling! I’ve a story to tell: Maidens are ever untrue. 1. Oh, once I was happy and gay as could be, With never a worry or woe. I lived in a lighthouse way down by the sea, Watching the boats come and go. 2. I met a sweet maiden and wooed her one day, And all of my love did bestow, When along came a sailor and took her away, Out where the boats come and go. CHORUS 3. She whispered she loved me and said she’d be mine, That maiden I loved long ago. Now she is sailing way over the brine, Out where the boats come and go. 4. Oh, now as the words of the bell come to me, They tell a sad story, I know; While I am standing alone by the sea, Watching the boats come and go. CHORUS - - - The Internet Archive has 3 copies of this recording: 1, 2, 3.
