เพลง The Eddystone Light

The Eddystone Light - Peter，Paul & Mary

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

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

Yo ho ho

The wind blows free

Oh for the life on the rolling sea

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

Yo ho ho

The wind blows free

Oh for the life on the rolling sea

Then the phosphorus

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

Yo ho ho

The wind blows free

Oh for the life on the rolling sea

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

Yo ho ho

The wind blows free

Oh for the life on the rolling sea

Yo ho ho

The wind blows free

Oh for the life on the rolling sea
