[Verse 1] 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" [Verse 2] 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 death And songs to set men free Oh! Eh! [Bridge] I've got three ships and sixty men A course for ports unread I'll stand at mast, let north winds blow Till half of us are dead Land Ho! [Verse 3] Well if I get my hands on a dollar bill Gonna buy a bottle and drink my fill If I get my hands on a number five Gonna skin that little girl alive If I get my hands on a number two Come back home and marry you Marry you Marry you alright [Refrain] Eh, Land Ho! Eh, Land Ho! [Chorus] Well if I get back home and I feel all right You know babe I'm gonna love you tonight Love you 'night, love you 'night [Refrain] Eh, Land Ho! Eh, Land Ho! Eh, Land Ho!
