THE CAPITOL YEARS ( CDP 7 96748 2 - 1995)	21: Sail Away Ladies (Guard / Reynolds / Shane) 2:28 Master #31747 recorded May 26, 1959 Extended play single: M.T.A. (EAP1-1119) Oddly enough, the first track recorded at the sessions for HERE WE GO AGAIN never found a home on that album. "Sail Away, Ladies" was released on EP and then pretty much forgotten Dave recalled it was "about 75 percent completed when we put It aside, hoping to do it full justice at some future session" Dave also indicated this arrangement was heavily influenced by an earlier version by Odetta

Sail Away Ladies

Ain't no use to sit and cry.
You'll be an angel by and by.

Chorus:
Can't she rock 'em, can't she rock 'em,
can't she rock 'em, daddy-e-o
Can't she rock 'em, can't she rock 'em,
can't she rock 'em, daddy-e-o

I got a home in Tennessee (Sail away, ladies. Sail away.)
That's the place I wanna be. (Sail away, ladies. Sail away.)
If I ever get my way (Sail away, ladies. Sail away.)
Tennessee is where I'll stay. (Sail away, ladies. Sail away.)

Chorus

Ever I get my new house done.
Give my old one to my son.
Ever I finish this porch and stairs,
lie around in my rockin' chair.

Chorus

Ain't no use to sit and cry.
You'll be an angel by and by.
Won't be a long time 'round this place.
So get a look at my funny face.

Chorus
