《The Eddystone Light》歌词

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

[00:00:03] My father was the keeper of the Eddystone Light

[00:00:05] And he slept with a mermaid one fine night

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

[00:00:11] A porpoise and a porgy and the other was me

[00:00:13] Yo ho ho the wind blows free

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

[00:00:21] One night while I was a-trimmin' of the glim

[00:00:24] A-singin' a verse from the evening hymn

[00:00:26] A voice from the starboard shouted "Ahoy "

[00:00:29] And there was my mother a-sittin' on a boy

[00:00:32] Yo ho ho the wind blows free

[00:00:34] Oh for a life on the rolling sea

[00:00:39] "Oh what has become of my children three "

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

[00:00:44] "One was exhibited as a talking fish

[00:00:46] And the other was served in a chafing dish "

[00:00:49] Yo ho ho the wind blows free

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

[00:00:56] Then the phosphorus flashed in her seaweed hair

[00:00:59] I looked again and my mother wasn't there

[00:01:02] A voice come a-echoing out through the night

[00:01:04] "To Hell with the keeper of the Eddystone Light "

[00:01:06] Yo ho ho the wind blows free

[00:01:09] Oh for a life on the rolling sea
