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!"
