Viewing Lyrics for The Eddystone Light:
| | | Artist: | PETER, PAUL AND MARY |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | The Eddystone Light | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 4 | | | | Lyrics: | (Traditional, new words and music by Yarrow, Stookey, Travers)
Oh, me 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
[Chorus:]
Yo ho ho, the wind
blows free, oh for the life on the rolling sea
One day as I was a-trimmin' the
glim
Humming a tune from the evening hymn
A voice from the starboard shouted,
"Ahoy!"
And there was me mother a-sittin' on the buoy
[Chorus]
"Oh what has
become of me children three?"
Me mother then she asked of me
One was exhibited as a talking
fish
The other was served in a chafing dish
[Chorus]
Then the phosporus
flashed in her seaweed hair
I looked again, but me mother wasn't there
But I heard her voice
echoing back through the night:
"The devil take the keeper of the Eddystone
light!"
[Chorus]
Oh the moral of the story you'll learn when you find
To leave
God's creatures for what nature had in mind
For fishes are for cookin', mermaids are for
tales
Seaweed is for sushi and protecting is for whales
