Retirement Song

[00:00.00] I've been roaming all my life and now I've found a lady wife
[00:03.62] I'm staying, right here!
[00:06.78] Oh I won't go sailing any more I won't obey the ocean's call
[00:11.15] I'm staying, right here!
[00:14.52] I'll be a man of the land
[00:16.71] I'll be a man of the trees
[00:18.62] I'll be a man wherever my woman will be
[00:22.29] I won't be any captain's mate
[00:24.27] I won't be servant of the seas
[00:26.15] 'Cause this pretty little woman is all I need
[00:30.31] At 14, I was cabin boy to fearsome Captain Buckleroy
[00:33.92] I'm staying, right here!
[00:37.24] When I was sick, he ordered cat 'o nine, until I said that I felt fine
[00:41.78] I'm staying, right here!
[00:45.09] I'll be a man of the land
[00:47.03] I'll be a man of the trees
[00:49.04] I'll be a man wherever my woman will be
[00:52.77] I won't be any captain's mate
[00:54.72] I won't be servant of the seas
[00:56.61] 'Cause this pretty little woman is all I need
[01:00.53] At 20, I manned our crow's nest and captain said I was the best
[01:04.68] I'm staying right here!
[01:07.92] But I nearly lost my eyes to God just lookin' out for old Cape Cod
[01:12.45] I'm staying right here!
[01:15.62] I'll be a man of the land
[01:17.54] I'll be a man of the trees
[01:19.39] I'll be a man wherever my woman will be
[01:23.34] I won't be any captain's mate
[01:25.09] I won't be servant of the seas
[01:27.12] 'Cause this pretty little woman is all I need
[01:31.23] At 25, no man alive could match my skill for gunnin'
[01:34.89] I'm staying right here!
[01:38.61] But the Captain he got drunk one night and sank the blasted cannon
[01:42.50] I'm staying right here!
[01:45.93] I'll be a man of the land
[01:47.95] I'll be a man of the trees
[01:49.86] I'll be a man wherever my woman will be
[01:53.62] I won't be any captain's mate
[01:55.41] I won't be servant of the seas
[01:57.54] 'Cause this pretty little woman is all I need
[02:01.71] Captain died at twenty eight and by then I was his first mate
[02:05.54] I'm staying, right here!
[02:08.84] Oh, they tried to give me his command but I was hungry for the land
[02:13.11] I'm staying, right here!
[02:16.62] I'll be a man of the land
[02:18.46] I'll be a man of the trees
[02:20.43] I'll be a man wherever my woman will be
[02:24.22] I won't be any captain's mate
[02:25.97] I won't be servant of the seas
[02:27.92] 'Cause this pretty little woman is all I need
[02:31.94] Stepped ashore at Felixstowe and made for Bristol by the road
[02:35.82] I'm staying, right here!
[02:39.57] Oh, I fell in love when first I saw her
[02:43.03] Avon County's finest daughter
[02:50.34] And now she's got me staying right here (a-way!)
[02:54.11] I'll be a man of the land
[02:55.99] I'll be a man of the trees
[02:57.73] I'll be a man wherever my woman will be
[03:01.80] I won't be any captain's mate
[03:03.42] I won't be servant of the seas
[03:05.37] 'Cause this pretty little woman is all I need
[03:09.13] I'll be a man of the land
[03:11.15] I'll be a man of the trees
[03:13.13] I'll be a man wherever my woman will be
[03:17.12] I won't be any captain's mate
[03:18.73] I won't be servant of the seas
[03:20.88] 'Cause this pretty little woman is all I need
[03:30.94]
