Robby Krieger - Land Ho! lyrics

[Verse] Grandma loved a sailor, who sailed the frozen sea Grandpa was that whaler and he took me on his knee He said: "Son, I'm going crazy from living on the land Got to find my shipmates and walk on foreign sands" This old man was graceful with silver in his smile He smoked a briar pipe and he walked four country miles Singing songs of shady sisters and old time liberty Songs of love and songs of d**h and songs to set men free I've got three ships and sixteen men A course for ports unread I'll stand at mast, let north winds blow until half of us are dead Land ho! Well, if I get my hands on a dollar bill I'm going to buy a bottle and drink my fill If I get my hands on a number five I'm going to skin that litlle girl alive If I get my hand on a number two come back home and marry you Marry you, marry you Alright! Land ho!
