Retirement Song (Remixed) 2013 edition [N370CNZDwzc]

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
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 28 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
