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

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.)

Can't she rock 'em, can't she rock 'em, can't she rock 'em, daddy-e-o

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

Can't she rock 'em, can't she rock 'em, can't she rock 'em, daddy-e-o

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

Can't she rock 'em, can't she rock 'em, can't she rock 'em, daddy-e-o
