Eddystone Light (Album Version) - The Brothers Four
Written by：McGayden/J. E. Cason

Yo ho here's a tale

That's fair and dear to the hearts of those that sail

'Bout a lighthouse keeper and his bare faced wife
Who joined together for a different life
Yo ho the winds and water tell the tale

My father was the keeper of the eddystone light
He married a mermaid one fine night
From this union there came three
A porpoise and a porgy and the other one me
Yo ho ho the wind blows free
Oh for the life on the rolling sea

Late one night I was a trimming of the glim
While singing a verse from the evening hymn
A voice on the starboard shouted ahoy
And there was my mother a sitting on a boy
Yo ho ho the wind blows free
Oh for the life on the rolling sea

Tell me what has become of my children three
My mother she did asked of me
One was exhibited as a talking fish
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 and me mother wasn't there
A voice came echoing out from the night
To hell with the keeper of the eddystone light
Yo ho ho the wind blows free
Oh for the life on the rolling sea

Yo ho yo ho

Yo ho yo ho yo ho
