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 pushing age 73
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 going to soothe away the rest of our years
We're going to put away all of our tears
That big rocking chair won't go nowhere
Slow down Willie boy
Your heart's going to 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
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
If it's snuff I won't have no care
That big rocking chair won't go nowhere
Hear the sound Willie boy
The Flying Dutchman's on the reef
It's my belief
We've used up all our time
This hill's too 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 have been nice just to see the folks
Listen once again to the stale jokes
That big rocking chair won't go nowhere
I can hear something calling 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, 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 rocking chair's got me
(Oh to be home again)
