Songs about the sea, ships, subs?

I remember a thread months ago of people posting songs about subs. I would like to see your favorite songs about the sea in general or sailing or ships or subs or whatever. I would also like to see the lyrics of it.

I like the doors so mine will be:

"Land Ho!"
Grandma loved a sailor who sailed the frozen sea.
Grandpa was that whaler and he took me on his knee.
He said son Im going crazy from living on the land
Got to find my shipmates and walk on foreign sand.
This old man was graceful with silver in his smile.
He smoked a briar pipe and he walked for country miles
Singing songs of shady sisters and old town liberty
Songs of love and songs of death, songs that set men free.
Ive got three ships and sixty men
A course for ports unread.
Ill stand at mast, let north winds blow
Till half of us are dead.
Land ho!
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.
Land ho!, land ho!
Well, if I get back home And I feel all right
You know I'm gonna love you tonight
Love tonight Love tonight
Land ho!
