Rockin' Chair
The Band
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 pushin' age seventy three.
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 gonna soothe away the rest of our years,
We're gonna put away all of our tears,
That big Rockin' Chair won't go nowhere.
Slow down, Willie Boy,
Your heart's gonna give right out on you
It's true, and I believe I know what we should do.
Turn the stern and point to shore,
The 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,
Dip'n snuff, I won't have no care,
That big Rockin' Chair won't go nowhere.
Hear the sound, Willie Boy,
The Flyin' 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-a-been nice just t'see the folks,
Listen once again to the stale jokes,
That big Rockin' Chair won't go nowhere.
I can hear something calling on me
And you know where I wanna be
Oh Willie, can't you hear that sound
Down In Old Virginny
I just wanna get my feet back on the ground
Down In Old Virginny
And I'd love to see my very best friend
They call him Ragtime Willie
I believe old Rockin' Chair's got me

- Humpday Blues Primer
If you've been reading IBA any length of time you've probably figured out I have a serious hard on for Blues. So when I saw this over at Stormbringer (they got it as bad as I do) I knew, though it was not counter-jihad stuff, it was absolutely...

So an anonymous commenter suggested he'd rather see Elvis Costello's wife than Elvis Costello. In the same thread another anonymous commenter said she'd take Elvis instead but play her some Willie. Well Well Well. A tall order indeed but here...
- Blind Willie Mctell
Another great Piedmont Blues singer and picker. One of the originals, Blind Willie McTell Piedmont picking a twelve string. This is one of my favorite blues tunes (yeah, along with 10,000 or so others). Lots of other folks like it, too, for as many times...
