Ain't no use sit 'n' cry
Sail away ladies – sail away
You'll be an angel by and by

Don't you rock
Don't you rock, no
Don't you rock, oh me daddy-o
Don't you rock him daddy-o

I got a home in Tennessee
Sail away ladies – sail away
That's the place I wanna be

Chorus

Ever I get my new house done
Sail away ladies – sail away
Give the old one to my son

Chorus

Stormy's dead and laid to rest
Sail away ladies – sail away
Of all the skipper's he was best

Chorus

Dig his grave with a silver spade
Sail away ladies – sail away
Six foot in that grave he's laid

Chorus

Lower him done with a golden chain
Sail away ladies – sail away
Make sure he don't rise again

Chorus

Hummed verse?

Chorus

Repeat Chorus
