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 pushing age 73 Now there's only one place That was meant for me Oh to be home again Down in old Virginia Meet my very best friend They call him Ragtime Willie We're going to soothe away The rest of our years We're going to put away All of our tears That big Rocking Chair Won't go no where Slow down Willie boy You hurt's going to give right out on you It's true And I believe I know what you 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 Virginia With my very best friend They call him Ragtime Willie I can't wait to sniff that air If there's love I won't have no care That big Rocking Chair Won't go no where Hear that sound Willie boy The Flying Dutchman's on the reef It's my belief We've used up all our time The hill's too steep to climb The day's that remain Ain't worth a dime Oh to be home again Down in old Virginia Meet my very best friend They call him Ragtime Willie Wouldn't it be nice Just to see the folks Listen once again To the stale old jokes That big Rocking 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 Down to old Virginia I just want to get My feet back on the ground Down in old Virginia I wanna see my very best friend They call him Ragtime Willie I believe old Rockin' Chair's got me Oh again...
