Rockin' Chair

Hang around, Willie Boy

Don't you raise the sails anymore

It's for sure, I've spent my whole life at sea

And I'm pushin' age seventy three

Now there's only one place that was meant for me

Oh, to be home again

Down in old Virginny

With my very best friend

They call him Ragtime Willie

We're gonna soothe away the rest of our years

We're gonna put away all of our tears

That big rockin' chair won't go nowhere

Slow down, Willie Boy

Your heart's gonna give right out on you

It's true, and I believe I know what we should do

Turn the stern and point to shore

The seven seas won't carry us no more

Oh, to be home again

Down in old Virginny

With my very best friend

They call him Ragtime Willie

I can't wait to sniff that air

Dip'n snuff, I won't have no care

That big Rockin' Chair won't go nowhere

Hear the sound, Willie Boy

The Flyin' Dutchman's on the reef

It's my belief

We've used up all our time

This hill's to steep to climb

And the days that remain ain't worth a dime

Oh, to be home again

Down in old Virginny

With my very best friend

They call him Ragtime Willie

Would-a-been nice just t'see the folks

listen once again to the stale jokes

That big Rockin' Chair won't go nowhere

I can hear something calling on me

And you know where I want to be

Oh Willie don't you hear that sound

Oh to be home again down in old Virginny

I just want to get my feet back on the ground

Oh to be home again down in old Virginny

I'd love to see my very best friend

They call him Rag-time Willie

I believe old rockin chair's got me

Oh to be home again
