Rockin` Chair — текст песни (Band, The)

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 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
Oh to be home again
