Rockin' Chair Lyrics

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 pushin' age seventy-three
Now there's only one place that is meant for me

Oh, to be home again
Down in old Virginny
With my very best friend,
They call him Ragtime Willie
W're gonna soothe away the rest of our years,
We're gonna put away all of our fears
That big rockin' chair 'wont' go nowhere

Slow down, Willie Boy,
Your heart's gonna give right out on you
It's true, and I believe I know what we 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 Virginny,
With my very best friend,
They call him Ragtime Willie.
I can't wait to sniff that air,
Dip'n snuff, I won't have no care,
That big Rockin' Chair won't go nowhere.

Hear the sound, Willie Boy,
The Flyin' Dutchman's on the reef.
It's my belief
We've used up all our time,
This hill's to steep to climb,
And the days that remain ain't worth a dime.

Oh, to be home again,
Down in old Virginny,
With my very best friend,
They call him Ragtime Willie.
Would-a-been nice just t'see the folks,
listen once again to the stale jokes,
That big Rockin' 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
(Oh to be home again down in old Virginny)
I just want to get my feet back on the ground
(Oh to be home again down in old Virginny)
I'd love to see my very best friend
(They call him Rag-time Willie)
I believe old rockin chair's got me
