MY FATHER WAS THE KEEPER OF THE EDDYSTONE LIGHT
(C D7) GHE MARRIED A MERMAID ONE FINE NIGHT
FROM THIS UNION THERE CAME THREE
A PORPOISE, A PORGY, AND THE OTHER WAS ME
A7 DYO HO HO, THE WIND BLOWS FREE
D7 GOH FOR THE LIFE ON THE ROLLING SEA
G
LATE ONE NIGHT I WAS TRIMMING THE GLIM
WHILE SINGING A VERSE FROM THE EVENING HYMN
A VOICE FROM STARBOARD SHOUTED "AHOY!"
(C D7) GAND THERE WAS ME MOTHER SITTING ON A BUOY
YO HO HO, THE WIND BLOWS FREE
D7 GOH FOR THE LIFE ON THE ROLLING SEA
G
WHAT HAS BECOME OF MY CHILDREN THREE?
(C D7) GME MOTHER SHE DID ASK OF ME
ONE WAS EXHIBITED AS A TALKING FISH
(C D7) GTHE OTHER WAS SERVED ON A CHAFING DISH
A7 DYO HO HO, THE WIND BLOWS FREE
OH FOR THE LIFE ON THE ROLLING SEA
THEN THE PHOSPHORUS FLASHED IN HER SEAWEED HAIR
(C D7) GI LOOKED AGAIN AND ME MOTHER WASN'T THERE
A VOICE CAME ECHOING OUT OF THE NIGHT
I DON'T LIKE THE KEEPER OF THE EDDYSTONE LIGHT
A7 DYO HO HO, THE WIND BLOWS FREE
D7 GOH FOR THE LIFE ON THE ROLLING SEA
