Rockin' Chair Lyrics - The Band - Band

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 to 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 that 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 them stale old jokes, 

That big rockin' chair won't go nowhere 

I can hear something callin' on me 

(And you know where I wanna be) 

Oh Willie, can't you hear that sound? 

(Down in old Virginny) 

I just wanna get my feet back on the ground 

(Down in old Virginny) 

And I'd love to see my very best friend 

They call him Ragtime Willie 

(Oh, to be home again) 

I believe old rockin' chair's got me again!
