Note: The A and B part here refers to the Uncle Dave Macon version. You can sing over the Uncle Bunt Stephens version, too, but the part names are reversed.

Don’t you rock-im dye-dee-o
Don’t you rock-im dye-dee-o
Don’t you rock-im dye-dee-o
Don’t you rock-im dye-dee-o

Note: After each line of the verse, either play the fiddle part as an answer back or sing “sail away ladies, sail away.”

Hush now darling don’t you cry
You’ll be an angel when you die

I’m going back to Tenessee
That’s the place I want to be

Whevener I get my new house done
I’ll love them pretty girls one by one
