Sail Away Ladies

Lyrics
If ever I get my new house done Sail away, ladies, sail away! Give my old one to my son Sail away, ladies, sail away! Don't she rock 'em, die-dy-0 Don't she rock 'em, die-dy-0 Don't she rock 'em, die-dy-0 Sail away, ladies, sail away! Come along boys, and go with me Sail away, ladies, sail away! We'll go back to Tennessee Sail away, ladies, sail away! [chorus] If I ever die in Tennessee Sail away, ladies, sail away! Send my bones back to me Sail away, ladies, sail away! [chorus] If I ever die in New York state Sail away, ladies, sail away! Send my bones back by freight Sail away, ladies, sail away! [chorus] Ain't no use to sit and cry Sail away, ladies, sail away! You'll be an angel by and by Sail away, ladies, sail away!

And then is even more [so many more] ...

I'm gonna build a house down by the water Sail away, ladies, sail away! Give the whole thing to my daughter Sail away, ladies, sail away! If I ever get my way Sail away, ladies, sail away! Oh, Tennessee is where I'll stay Sail away, ladies, sail away! ...

Inspiration
Here's Uncle Dave Macon rocking die-dy-O.

Just for some extra context, here's "Uncle Bunt" Stephens doing a nigh near perfect version on the fiddle.
