Sail Away, Ladies

Ain’t no use to sit and cry

     Sail away, ladies, sail away

You’ll be an angel bye and bye
    Sail away, ladies, sail away


CHORUS

     Don’t you rock … don’t you rock ’em
    Don’t you rock ’em my daddy-O
    Don’t you rock ’em daddy-O


Left my love in Liverpool town
Wish that I was homeward bound


Whenever I get my new boat done
I’ll give my old one to my son
 

Now come along boys and go with me
We’ll go sailin’ on the sea


Stormy’s dead and laid to rest

Of all the skippers he was best 


Lower him down with a golden chain 

Make sure he don’t rise again
