Thousands Or More
de The Longest Johns
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 any more I won't obey the ocean's call
By I'm staying, right here!
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
At 14 I was cabin boy to fearsome Captain Buckleroy
I'm staying, right here!
When I was sick he ordered cat 'o nine, until I said that I felt fine
I'm staying, right here!
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
At 20 I manned our crow's nest and captain said I was the best
I'm staying right here!
But I nearly lost my eyes to God just lookin' out for old Cape Cod
I'm staying right here!
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
At 25 no man alive could match my skill 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!
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
Captain died at twenty eight and by then I was his first mate
I'm staying, right here!
Well they tried to give me his command but I was hungry for the land
I'm staying, right here!
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
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 (a-way!)
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
