text: Oh, my father was the keeper of the eddystone light
  And he slept with a mermaid one fine night
  From this union there sprang three
  A porpoise and a porgy and the other was me
  Chorus:
  Yo ho ho, the wind blows free, ho for the life on the rolling sea
  One night when I was a-trimmin of the glim
  Singin a verse from the evening hymn
  A voice from the starboard shouted, Ahoy!
  And there was my mother a-sittin on the buoy
  Chorus
  Oh what has become of my children three?
  Me mother then she asked of me
  One was exhibited as a talking fish
  The other was served in a chafing dish
  Chorus
  The phosporus flashed in her seaweed hair
  I looked again, and my mother wasnt there
  But her voice came an echoing back through the night:
  To hell with the keeper of the Eddystone light!
