The Band - 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 was meant for me Oh, to be home again Down in Old Virginny With my very best friend They call him 'Ragtime Willie' We're gonna soothe away the rest of our years We're gonna put away all of our tears That big rockin' chair won't 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 to see the folks Listen once again to the stale jokes That big rockin' chair won't go nowhere I can hear somethin' callin' 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 'Ragtime Willie' I believe old rockin chair's got me Oh to be home again
