+===== Lyrics =====
+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.
+==== Chorus (over the A Part) ====
+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
+==== Verses (over the B Part) ====
+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
