Verse 1
G 
My father was the keeper of the Eddystone Light,
D 
and he married a mermaid
G 
one fine night.
From this union there came three,
a porpoise and a fog,
and the other was me.
A 
D 
Yo -ho -ho, the wind blows free,
G 
all for the life on the rolling sea.
One night as I was a -trimmin' on the glimmer,
singin' a verse from the Evening Hymn,
a voice from the starboard shouted, Oh,
hi!
D 
G 
There was me mother, a single boy.
Was he a nice boy?
Sing.
A 
D 
Yo -ho -ho, the wind blows free,
G 
All for the life on the rolling sea.
Me mother, then she asked of me,
D 
What has become of the
G 
children three?
One was exhibitless of talking fish,
And the other was served on
a chafing dish.
Was he a son of a fish?
A 
Sing. Oh.
D 
Yo -ho -ho, the wind blows free,
G 
All for the life on the rolling sea
The lightning flashed in her seaweed hair
I looked again,
but me mother wasn't there
A voice came echoing
out of the night
To her with the keeper of the yeti stone light
Oh, really?
Sing!
A 
D 
Yo -ho -ho, the wind blows free
G 
All for the life on the rolling sea
A 
D 
Yo -ho -ho, the wind blows free
G 
All for the life on the rolling
C 
G 
sea
Thank you.
