Sail Away Ladies
Ain't no use to sit and cry.
You'll be an angel by and by.
Chorus:
Can't she rock 'em, can't she rock 'em,
can't she rock 'em, daddy-e-o
Can't she rock 'em, can't she rock 'em,
can't she rock 'em, daddy-e-o
I got a home in Tennessee (Sail away, ladies. Sail away.)
That's the place I wanna be. (Sail away, ladies. Sail away.)
If I ever get my way (Sail away, ladies. Sail away.)
Tennessee is where I'll stay. (Sail away, ladies. Sail away.)
Chorus
Ever I get my new house done.
Give my old one to my son.
Ever I finish this porch and stairs,
lie around in my rockin' chair.
Chorus
Ain't no use to sit and cry.
You'll be an angel by and by.
Won't be a long time 'round this place.
So get a look at my funny face.
Chorus
