GMY FATHER WAS THE KEEPER OF THE EDDYSTONE LIGHT
       (C    D7)     G
HE MARRIED A MERMAID ONE FINE NIGHT
FROM THIS UNION THERE CAME THREE
(C          D7)              G
A PORPOISE, A PORGY, AND THE OTHER WAS ME
A7YO HO HO, THE DWIND BLOWS FREE
D7OH FOR THE LIFE ON THE GROLLING SEA
GLATE ONE NIGHT I WAS TRIMMING THE GLIM
         (C     D7)            G
WHILE SINGING A VERSE FROM THE EVENING HYMN
A VOICE FROM STARBOARD SHOUTED "AHOY!"
(C            D7)           G
AND THERE WAS ME MOTHER SITTING ON A BUOY
A7YO HO HO, THE DWIND BLOWS FREE
D7OH FOR THE LIFE ON THE GROLLING SEA
GWHAT HAS BECOME OF MY CHILDREN THREE?
      (C  D7)     G
ME MOTHER SHE DID ASK OF ME
ONE WAS EXHIBITED AS A TALKING FISH
(C            D7)         G

A7YO HO HO, THE DWIND BLOWS FREE
D7OH FOR THE LIFE ON THE GROLLING SEA
GTHEN THE PHOSPHORUS FLASHED IN HER SEAWEED HAIR
     (C        D7)    G

A VOICE CAME ECHOING OUT OF THE NIGHT
(C               D7)           G
I DON'T LIKE THE KEEPER OF THE EDDYSTONE LIGHT
A7YO HO HO, THE DWIND BLOWS FREE
D7OH FOR THE LIFE ON THE GROLLING SEA
