Whenever I get my new house done,
Sail away, ladies, sail away.
I'll give the old one to my son,
Sail away, ladies, sail away,
Chorus:
Sail away, ladies, sail away,
Sail away, ladies, sail away,
Sail away, ladies, sail away,
Sail away, ladies, sail away.
I've got a home in Tennessee,
That's the place I wanna be,
Chorus
|
If I die in Tennessee,
Bring my bones back to me.
Chorus
But if I die in New York state,
Send my bones back by freight.
Chorus
Come along, boys, and go with me,
We'll go down to Tennessee,
Chorus
Children don't you grieve and cry,
You'll be an angel by and by.
Chorus
