WONDERFULL LAND

Land, land! Oh wonderful land!
Kiss it, praise it, glorious sand!

I was stuck on the ocean, day by day
Til a week, two weeks, a month went 'way

A storm came up, I wish I would drown
But it only, threw me 'round

My head cracked 'gainst the side of my boat
I thought I would sink, (I know I can't float)

The waves carried me, straight to you
The firm, firm land, a yellow in hue

And now that I'm here, here I'll stay
I'm something you can't, from the land, take away
