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
