sail away ladies

Harry Belafonte

Ain't no use to sit and cry
You be an Angel by an' by

Don't you rock, don't you rock
Don't you rock. Don't you rock 'em daddy-o

I've got a home in Tennessee
That's the place that I wanna be

I got a house in Baltimore
Sail away ladies, sail away
Streetcar running by my door
Sail away ladies sail away

I got me a gal named Ida-vee
Sweet as honey in a hollow tree

Well I miss my baby but I'm on the roam
I'm gonna givin' her a lot of loving when I get home
Don't you rock 'em daddy-o
