[second voice concurrent with first]
[second voice as above]
Oh to be home again down in old virginny
Oh to be home again down in old virginny
[second voice as above]
[second voice as above]
[second voice as above]
[00:10:357] Hang around, willie boy,
[00:14:019]
[00:14:852] Don't you raise the sails anymore.
[00:18:564]
[00:20:195] It's for sure, i've spent my whole life at sea
[00:25:236]
[00:26:517] And i'm pushin' age seventy three;
[00:29:116]
[00:30:486] Now there's only one place that was meant for me:
[00:34:450]
[00:36:116] Oh, to be home again,
[00:39:812]
[00:40:892] Down in old virginny,
[00:43:212]
[00:44:252] With my very best friend,
[00:47:212]
[00:48:283] They call him ragtime willie.
[00:50:517]
[00:51:010] We're gonna soothe away the rest of our years,
[00:55:154] We're gonna put away all of our tears,
[00:59:308] That big rockin' chair won't go nowhere.
[01:03:716]
[01:05:868] Slow down, willie boy,
[01:10:682] Your heart's gonna give right out on you
[01:14:843] It's true, and i believe i know what we should do.
[01:22:099] Turn the stern and point to shore,
[01:26:747] The seven seas won't carry us no more.
[01:30:501]
[01:32:204] Oh, to be home again,
[01:36:876] Down in old virginny,
[01:40:195] With my very best friend,
[01:44:172] They call him ragtime willie.
[01:47:107] I can't wait to sniff that air,
[01:51:300] Dip'n snuff, i won't have no care,
[01:55:274] That big rockin' chair won't go nowhere.
[01:59:796]
[02:04:757] Hear the sound, willie boy,
[02:09:427] The flyin' dutchman's on the reef.
[02:13:597] It's my belief
[02:15:443] We've used up all our time,
[02:20:196] This hill's to steep to climb,
[02:24:252] And the days that remain ain't worth a dime.
[02:28:715]
[02:30:388] Oh, to be home again,
[02:34:274] Down in old virginny,
[02:37:299] With my very best friend,
[02:42:372] They call him ragtime willie.
[02:45:186] Would-a-been nice just t'see the folks,
[02:48:402] Listen once again to the stale jokes,
[02:53:413] That big rockin' chair won't go nowhere.
[02:57:819]
[03:02:377] I can hear something calling on me
[03:06:961] And you know where i want to be
[03:09:642] Oh willie don't you hear that sound
[03:18:463] I just want to get my feet back on the ground
[03:23:038] I'd love to see my very best friend
[03:31:444] They call him rag-time willie
[03:32:389] I believe old rockin chair's got me
[03:36:540] Oh to be home again
