Ain't no use to sit and cry. You'll be an angel by and by.

[Chorus]
Can't she rock 'em, can't she rock 'em,
can't she rock 'em, daddy-e-o (Repeat)

I got a home in Tennessee (Sail away,
ladies. Sail away.) That's the place I wanna be.
(Sail away, ladies. Sail away.)
If I ever get my way (Sail away,
ladies. Sail away.) Tennessee is where I'll stay.
(Sail away, ladies. Sail away.)

[Chorus]

Ever I get my new house done. Give my old one to my son.
Ever I finish this porch and stairs, lie around in my rockin' chair.

[Chorus]

Ain't no use to sit and cry. You'll be an angel by and by.
Won't be a long time 'round this place. So get a look at my funny face.

[Chorus]
