Eddystone Light Lyrics


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 meYo ho ho, the wind blows free
Oh, for the life on the rolling seaOne 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 dishYo 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

The Weavers, an American folk group, began in 1947 and consisted of Ronnie Gilbert, Pete Seeger, Lee Hays, Fred Hellerman, and often Erik Darling. The name came from an 1892 drama of the same name by Gerhart Hauptmann. They inspired the commercial "folk boom" that followed them in the 1950s and 1960s, including such acts as The Kingston Trio and Peter, Paul and Mary. The group's first big hit was in 1949 with Leadbelly's Goodnight Irene, backed with the 1941 Israeli song Tzena, Tzena, Tzena.
