《The Eddystone Light》歌词

[00:00:00] The Eddystone Light - Burl Ives (布勒·埃夫斯)

[00:00:03] Oh me father was

[00:00:04] The keeper of the eddystone light

[00:00:06] And he slept with a mermaid

[00:00:07] One fine night

[00:00:08] From this union there came three

[00:00:11] A porpoise and a porgy

[00:00:13] And the other was me

[00:00:14] Yo ho ho

[00:00:15] The wind blows free

[00:00:16] Oh for the life on the rolling sea

[00:00:22] One day as

[00:00:22] I was a-trimming the glim

[00:00:24] Humming a tune

[00:00:25] From the evening hymn

[00:00:27] A voice from the starboard shouted "Ahoy"

[00:00:29] And there was me

[00:00:30] Mother a-sittin' on the buoy

[00:00:32] Yo ho ho

[00:00:33] The wind blows free

[00:00:35] Oh for the life on the rolling sea

[00:00:40] Oh what has become

[00:00:41] Of me children three

[00:00:42] Me mother then she asked of me

[00:00:45] One was exhibited as a talking fish

[00:00:47] The other was served in a chafing dish

[00:00:50] Yo ho ho

[00:00:51] The wind blows free

[00:00:52] Oh for the life on the rolling sea

[00:00:57] Then the phosphorus

[00:00:58] Flashed in her seaweed hair

[00:01:00] I looked again

[00:01:01] But me mother wasn't there

[00:01:02] But I heard her voice echoing back

[00:01:03] Through the night

[00:01:05] The devil take the keeper

[00:01:06] Of the eddystone light

[00:01:07] Yo ho ho

[00:01:08] The wind blows free

[00:01:10] Oh for the life on the rolling sea
