lirik lagu the longest johns - retirement song (remixed)
[verse 1]
i’ve been roaming all my life
and now i’ve found a lady wife
i’m staying right here
oh, i won’t go sailing anymore
i won’t obey the ocean’s call
i’m staying right here
[chorus]
i’ll be a man of the land
i’ll be a man of the trees
i’ll be a man wherever my woman will be
i won’t be any captain’s mate
i won’t be servant of the seas
’cause this pretty little woman is all i need
[verse 2]
at 14 i was cabin boy
to fearsome captain buckleroy
i’m staying right here
when i was sick he ordered cat~a~nine
until i said that i felt fine
i’m staying right hеre
[chorus]
i’ll be a man of the land
i’ll bе a man of the trees
i’ll be a man wherever my woman will be
i won’t be any captain’s mate
i won’t be servant of the seas
’cause this pretty little woman is all i need
[verse 3]
at 20 i manned that crows nest
and captain said i was the best
i’m staying right here
but i nearly lost my eyes to god
just looking out for old cape cod
i’m staying right here
[chorus]
i’ll be a man of the land
i’ll be a man of the trees
i’ll be a man wherever my woman will be
i won’t be any captain’s mate
i won’t be servant of the seas
’cause this pretty little woman is all i need
[verse 4]
at 25, no man alive
could match my sk!ll for gunnin’
i’m staying right here
but the captain he got drunk one night
and sank the blasted cannon
i’m staying right here
[chorus]
i’ll be a man of the land
i’ll be a man of the trees
i’ll be a man wherever my woman will be
i won’t be any captain’s mate
i won’t be servant of the seas
’cause this pretty little woman is all i need
[verse 5]
captain died at 28
and by then i was his first mate
i’m staying right here
oh, they tried to give me his command
but i was hungry for the land
i’m staying right here
[chorus]
i’ll be a man of the land
i’ll be a man of the trees
i’ll be a man wherever my woman will be
i won’t be any captain’s mate
i won’t be servant of the seas
’cause this pretty little woman is all i need
[verse 6]
stepped ashore at felixstowe
and made for bristol by the road
i’m staying right here
well i fell in love when first i saw her
avon county’s finest daughter
and now she’s got me staying right here, hoo~hey!
[chorus]
i’ll be a man of the land
i’ll be a man of the trees
i’ll be a man wherever my woman will be
i won’t be any captain’s mate
i won’t be servant of the seas
’cause this pretty little woman is all i need
i’ll be a man of the land
i’ll be a man of the trees
i’ll be a man wherever my woman will be
i won’t be any captain’s mate
i won’t be servant of the seas
’cause this pretty little woman is all i need
