Now my father was the keeper of the Eddystone light
And he
married a mermaid one fine night
From this union there came three
Two of them were fishes
and the other was me
Now when I was but a bit of a slip
I was put in charge of the Nore
lightship
I kept my lamps in very fine style
Doing of the work according to
Hoyle
Oh the raging Nore, the rolling Nore
The waves they tumble o'er and
o'er
There's no such a life to be had on shore
As the one that's led by the Man
at the Nore
Well, one evening as I was a-trimming of the glim
Singing a verse from
the Evening Hymn
I spied by the light of my signal lamp
The form of my mother looking
awfully damp
Just then a voice cried out, Ahoy
And there she was just a-sitting on a
buoy
That's meaning a buoy for the ships that sail
And not a boy that's a juvenile
male
Says I to my mother, Now how do you do
And how's my father and my sisters
two
Says she, It's an orph-i-an you are
You've only one sister and you've got no
pa
Your father was drowned with sever-i-al pals
And digested by the cannibals
Of your
sisters, one was cooked in a dish
The other one is kept as a talking fish
Well, at
that I wept like a soft-eyed scamp
My tears, they made the waters damp
Says I to my
mother, Won't you step within
You look so wet, just to dry your skin
Says she, I likes the
wet, my dear
Says I, Let me offer you the cabin chair
My mother, she looks at me with a
frown
It's owing to my nature that I can't sit down
Says my mother, Now never you go
on shore
But always remain the Man at the Nore
With that, I caught a glittering
scale
And that was the end of my mother's tale
Now in deference to this maternal
wish
I can't visit my sister, the talking fish
So if you sees her when you gets on
shore
Give her the regards of the Man at the Nore
