0:00The Eddystone Light - The Brothers Four (四兄弟)
0:05Yo ho Here's a tale
0:09That's fair and dear to the hearts of those that sail
0:14'Bout a lighthouse keeper and his bare faced wife
0:16Who joined together for a different life
0:19Yo ho the winds and water tell the tale
0:26My father was the keeper of the eddystone light
0:28He married a mermaid one fine night
0:31From this union there came three
0:33A porpoise and a porgy and the other one me
0:35Yo ho ho the wind blows free
0:41Oh for the life on the rolling sea
0:47Late one night I was a trimming of the glim
0:50While singing a verse from the evening hymn
0:52A voice on the starboard shouted ahoy
0:54And there was my mother
0:55A sitting on a buoy
0:57Yo ho ho the wind blows free
1:02Oh for the life on the rolling sea
1:09Tell me what has become of my children three
1:12My mother she did asked of me
1:14One was exhibited as a talking fish
1:16The other was served on a chafing dish
1:19Yo ho ho the wind blows free
1:24Oh for the life on the rolling sea
1:31Then the phosphorous flashed in her seaweed hair
1:33I looked again and me mother wasn't there
1:36A voice came echoing out from the night
1:38To hell with the keeper of the eddystone light
1:41Yo ho ho the wind blows free
1:46Oh for the life on the rolling sea
1:53Yo ho yo ho
1:57Yo ho
2:00Yo ho
2:02Yo ho
