Land Ho!

The voyage lasted months
Our sea legs are strong
When a cry comes down the mainmast
We burst into a song

Land ho! Land ho! Land's up ahead
We long for a pillow to rest our head
Land ho! Land ho! Land's up ahead
We'll drink and dance throughout the night
We'll wake up feeling dead

We meet some lovely ladies
We eat some hearty food
We might've paid for both but
They have left us feeling good

You can't know what they're saying
We speak English where we're from
Well we don't speak their language
But we're pretty good with tongues

Land ho! Land ho! Land's up ahead
We long for a pillow to rest our head
Land ho! Land ho! Land's up ahead
We'll drink and dance throughout the night
We'll wake up feeling dead

But after a few days
That longing comes to call
We kiss our new sweethearts goodbye
We loved them one and all

But as we walk away they cry
And beg us not to leave
We say we're sorry darling
But our only love's the sea

Sea ho! Sea ho! The sea's a calling me
Though the food is rotten and the water is salty
Sea ho! Sea ho! The sea's a calling me
It's not an easy life but it's the only one for me
