The Eddystone Light Lyrics

	作词 : Traditional, Travers, Yarrow
	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
	Chorus
