Land Ho! Lyrics

Grandma loved a sailor who sailed the frozen sea Grandpa was that whaler and he took me on his knee He said, "Son, I'm goin' crazy from livin' on the land Got to find my shipmates and walk on foreign sand"
This old man was graceful with silver in his smile He smoked a briar pipe and he walked for four country miles Singin' songs of shady sisters and old town liberty Songs of love and songs of death, songs that set men free, hey
I've got three ships and sixty men A course for ports unread I'll stand at mast, let north winds blow Till half of us are dead Land ho
Whenever I get my hands on a dollar bill Gonna buy a bottle and drink my fill If I get my hands on a number five Gonna skin that little girl alive
If I get my hands on a number two Come back home and marry you Marry you, marry you, alright Aey land ho, aey land ho
If I get back home and I feel all right You know baby gonna love you tonight Love tonight, love tonight Aey land ho, aey land ho Aey land ho
