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
