A popular mountain dance tune recorded by many artists and still popular today in old time music sessions. Dance tune with floating verses: "Ever I get my new house done/Sail away, ladies, sail away/Give the old one to my son/Sail away...." "Don't you worry, don't you cry... You'll be angels by and by" Etc. "Chorus: "Don't'ye rock 'em, di-de-o (x3 or x4)". This started out as a fiddle tune, to which Uncle Dave added his own unique brand of nonsense--some original, some floating verses. -PJS
Ain't not use to sit and cry, sail away ladies sail away.
You'll be an angel by and by, sail away ladies sail away.
