Retirement Song 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 anymore, I won't obey the oceans call, 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-a-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 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

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 skills 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
