Tekst Utworu

Yo ho, here's a tale
That's near and dear to the hearts of those who sail
'Bout a lighthouse keeper and his mermaid wife
Who joined together for a different life
Yo ho, the winds and waters tell this tale
My father was the keeper of the Eddystone Light
He married 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 a life on the rolling sea
Late one night I was trimmin' the glim
While singin' the verse from the evenin' hymn
A voice from starboard shouted "Ahoy!"
And there was me mother a-sittin' on a buoy
Yo ho ho, the wind blows free
Oh, for a life on the rolling sea
"Tell me what has become of my children three?"
Me mother she did ask of me
"One was exhibited as a talking fish
The other was served on a chafing dish"
Yo ho ho, the wind blows free
Oh, for a life on the rolling sea
Then the phosphorus flashed in her seaweed hair
I looked again and me mother wasn't there
A voice came echoin' out of the night
"Let them take the keeper of the Eddystone Light"
Yo ho ho, the wind blows free
Oh, for a life on the rolling sea
Yo ho
Yo ho
Yo ho
Yo ho
Yo ho
