[intro]

Ain't no use sit 'n cry
You'll be an angel by and by

[Chorus]

Don't you rock
Don't you rock, ah
Don't you rock, ah, my daddy-o
Don't you rock him daddy-o
I got a home in Tennessee
That's the place I wanna be

[Chorus]

Ever I get my new house done
Give my old one to my son

[outro]

Ain't no use sit 'n cry (Sail away, ladies, sail away.)
You'll be an angel by and by (Sail away, ladies, sail away.)
