[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
