Paroles de la chanson Re-Retirement Song par The Longest Johns

Ooh, hey, stretch out the hamstrings

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 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 fourteen 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 twenty I manned the 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, hey hey
Hey hey

At twenty-five, no man alive
Could match my skill for gunnin'
I'm staying right here
But the Captain he got drunk one night
And broke 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 twenty-eight
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

Well, I jumped aboard at Morecambe Bay
And made for Bristol down the way
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, hoo-hey!

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
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
Yeah!
