but how long ya been in the Navy mate?
me ...
All me bloomin' life
Me mother was a mermaid
Me father was King Neptune
I was born on the crest of a wave,
And rocked in the cradle 'o the deep
Barnacles and seaweed are me clothes
Th' hair on me head is hemp
The' teeth in me mouth are marlin-spikes
I'se hard,
I is,
I am,
I are (rrrreee)
and when I spits . . I spits TAR!
AAARRRRRR!

My father was the keeper of the Eddystone light
And he slept with a mermaid one fine night
Out of 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 night, as I was a-trimming the glim
Singing a verse from the evening hymn
I head a voice cry out an "Ahoy!"
And there was my mother, sitting on a buoy.
Yo ho ho, the wind blows free,
Oh for the life on the rolling sea!
"Oh, what has become of my children three?"
My mother then inquired of me.
One's on exhibit 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, and my mother wasn't there
But her voice came angrily out of the night
"To Hell with the keeper of the Eddystone Light!"
Yo ho ho, the wind blows free,
Oh for the life on the rolling sea! |

My dad often sang me the Eddystone light song when I was kid. It took me awhile to figure out what "from this union there came three" meant.

Well Jesse,
When I was a 21 year old in Tahiti (1958) we made up our own words for the first verse. Never got any further than that.
Me father was the keeper of the point Venus light.
And he slept with a Quinns girl one fine night.
And from this union there came three,
syphilis the clap and genorrhe-e
Yo ho ho the disease flows free,
oh for the life in Ta--hiti.
I guess you had to have been there. |
