Ain't no use to sit and cry
Sail away, ladies, sail away.
You'll be an angel by an' by,
Sail away, ladies, sail away,
cho: Don't you rock 'im die-dy-0,
Don't you rock 'im die-dy-0,
Don't you rock 'im die-dy-0,
Don't you rock 'im die-dy-0.
I've got a home in Tennessee,
That's the place I wanna be,
If ever I get my new house done,
I'll give the old one to my son,
Come along, boys, and go witb me,
We'll go down to Tennessee,
Ever I get my new house done,
Love you, pretty girls, one by one.
Hush, little baby, don't you cry,
You'll be an angel by and by.
