rockin' chair (live at the royal albert hall, june 1971) - the band lyrics

[verse 1]
hang around, willie boy
don’t you raise your 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

[verse 2]
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
these seven seas won’t carry us no more

[chorus]
oh, to be home again down in ol’ virginny
with my very best friend, they call him ragtime willie
we’re gonna soothe away the rest of our ways
we’re gonna put away all of our tears
that big rockin’ chair won’t go nowhere
[verse 3]
hear the sound, willie boy
the flying’ dutchman’s on the reef
it’s my belief we used up all our time
this hill’s too steep to climb
and the days that remain ain’t worth a dime

[chorus]
oh, to be home again down in ol’ virginny
with my very best friend, they call him ragtime willie
would it be nice just to see the folks?
listen once again to the stale jokes
that big rockin’ chair won’t go nowhere

[verse 4: richard manuel & levon helm]
i can hear somethin’ callin 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, way down in old virginny)
i long to see my very best friend, (with my very best friend, they call him ragtime willie)
i believe old rockin’ chair’s gone again (oh, to be home again)
