MY FATHER WAS THE KEEPER OF THE EDDYSTONE LIGHT

(C D7) G

HE MARRIED A MERMAID ONE FINE NIGHT

FROM THIS UNION THERE CAME THREE

(C D7) G

A PORPOISE, A PORGY, AND THE OTHER WAS ME

A7 D

YO HO HO, THE WIND BLOWS FREE

D7 G

OH FOR THE LIFE ON THE ROLLING SEA

G

LATE ONE NIGHT I WAS TRIMMING THE GLIM

(C D7) G

WHILE SINGING A VERSE FROM THE EVENING HYMN

A VOICE FROM STARBOARD SHOUTED "AHOY!"

(C D7) G

AND THERE WAS ME MOTHER SITTING ON A BUOY

A7 D

YO HO HO, THE WIND BLOWS FREE

D7 G

OH FOR THE LIFE ON THE ROLLING SEA

G

WHAT HAS BECOME OF MY CHILDREN THREE?

(C D7) G

ME MOTHER SHE DID ASK OF ME

ONE WAS EXHIBITED AS A TALKING FISH

(C D7) G

THE OTHER WAS SERVED ON A CHAFING DISH

A7 D

YO HO HO, THE WIND BLOWS FREE

D7 G

OH FOR THE LIFE ON THE ROLLING SEA

G

THEN THE PHOSPHORUS FLASHED IN HER SEAWEED HAIR

(C D7) G

I LOOKED AGAIN AND ME MOTHER WASN'T THERE

A VOICE CAME ECHOING OUT OF THE NIGHT

(C D7) G

I DON'T LIKE THE KEEPER OF THE EDDYSTONE LIGHT

A7 D

YO HO HO, THE WIND BLOWS FREE

D7 G

OH FOR THE LIFE ON THE ROLLING SEA
