Lyrics

[00:16.65] Grandma loved a sailor who sailed the frozen sea
[00:24.34] Grandpa was that whaler and he took me on his knee
[00:31.63] He said, "Son, I'm going crazy from livin' on the land
[00:39.95] Got to find my shipmates and walk on foreign sands"
[01:00.10] This old man was graceful with silver in his smile
[01:07.81] He smoked a briar pipe and he walked four country miles
[01:15.29] Singing songs of shady sisters and old time liberty
[01:23.44] Songs of love and songs of death and songs to set men free
[01:31.94] Yeah!
[01:47.66] I've got three ships and sixteen men
[01:56.07] A course for ports unread
[02:04.13] I'll stand at mast, let north winds blow
[02:11.89] 'Til half of us are dead
[02:18.98] Land ho!
[02:29.29] Well, if I get my hands on a dollar bill
[02:33.23] Gonna buy a bottle and drink my fill
[02:37.22] If I get my hands on a number five
[02:40.93] Gonna skin that little girl alive
[02:45.13] If I get my hands on a number two
[02:49.16] Come back home and marry you
[02:53.03] Marry you, marry you, alright
[03:08.65] Eyyy, land ho!
[03:16.15] Eyyy, land ho!
[03:23.23] Well, if I get back home and I feel alright
[03:27.22] You know, babe, I'm gon' love you right
[03:31.49] Love you right
[03:33.25] Love you right
[03:39.17] Eyyy, land ho!
[03:46.82] Eyyy, land ho!
[03:54.16] Eyyy, land ho!
