By the 17th Century the banjo had been introduced to this continent from West Africa. The European settlers generally used the violin unaccompanied for dancing, and sang unaccompanied or with a violin only. Increased social contacts of various kinds during the middle 19th century popularized the violin &#8211; banjo combination. This tune can be found in almost every collection of fiddle music.<\/p>\n<p>I first heard &#039;Sail Away Lady&#039; in the mid &#039;50s at the Gate of Horn in Chicago, sung by Odetta. She had a big rolling style on this song with a huge crescendo on the choruses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lyrics-header\">Lyrics:<\/div>\n<div class=\"lyrics\">\nG               D         G<br \/>\nAin&#039;t no use to sit and cry<br \/>\nG              D       G<br \/>\nSail away lady sail away<br \/>\nG                  D           G<br \/>\nYou&#039;ll be an angel bye and bye<br \/>\nG              D           G<br \/>\nSail away lady sail away<\/p>\n<p>C<br \/>\nDon&#039;t you rock &#039;im die &#8211; de &#8211; O<br \/>\nG<br \/>\nDon&#039;t you rock &#039;im die &#8211; de &#8211; O<br \/>\nD<br \/>\nDon&#039;t you rock &#039;im die &#8211; de &#8211; O<br \/>\nG<br \/>\nDon&#039;t you rock &#039;im die &#8211; de  -O<\/p>\n<p>Well I&#039;ve got a home in Tennessee<br \/>\nSail away lady sail away<br \/>\nThat is where I&#039;d rather be<br \/>\nSail away lady sail away<\/p>\n<p>Don&#039;t you rock &#039;im die &#8211; de &#8211; O<br \/>\nDon&#039;t you rock &#039;im die &#8211; de &#8211; O<br \/>\nDon&#039;t you rock &#039;im die &#8211; de &#8211; O<br \/>\nDon&#039;t you rock &#039;im die &#8211; de &#8211; O<\/p>\n<p>Now come along boys and go with me<br \/>\nSail away lady sail away<br \/>\nWe&#039;ll go down to Tennessee<br \/>\nSail away lady sail away<\/p>\n<p>Don&#039;t you rock &#039;im die &#8211; de &#8211; O<br \/>\nDon&#039;t you rock &#039;im die &#8211; de &#8211; O<br \/>\nDon&#039;t you rock &#039;im die &#8211; de &#8211; O<br \/>\nDon&#039;t you rock &#039;im die &#8211; de &#8211; O<\/p>\n<p>Whenever I get my new house done<br \/>\nSail away lady sail away<br \/>\nLove you pretty girls one by one<br \/>\nSail away lady sail away<\/p>\n<p>Don&#039;t you rock &#039;im die &#8211; de &#8211; O<br \/>\nDon&#039;t you rock &#039;im die &#8211; de &#8211; O<br \/>\nDon&#039;t you rock &#039;im die &#8211; de &#8211; O<br \/>\nDon&#039;t you rock &#039;im die &#8211; de &#8211; O<\/p>\n<p>Hush little baby don&#039;t you cry<br \/>\nSail away lady sail away<br \/>\nYou&#039;ll be an angel bye and bye<br \/>\nSail away lady sail away<\/p>\n<p>Don&#039;t you rock &#039;im die &#8211; de &#8211; O<br \/>\nDon&#039;t you rock &#039;im die &#8211; de &#8211; O<br \/>\nDon&#039;t you rock &#039;im die &#8211; de &#8211; O<br \/>\nDon&#039;t you rock &#039;im die &#8211; de &#8211; O<\/p>\n<p>Don&#039;t you rock &#039;im die &#8211; de &#8211; O<br \/>\nDon&#039;t you rock &#039;im die &#8211; de &#8211; O<br \/>\nDon&#039;t you rock &#039;im die &#8211; de &#8211; O<br \/>\nDon&#039;t you rock &#039;im die &#8211; de &#8211; O<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a9 1999 McGuinn Music \/ Roger McGuinn\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do I download this Mp3?
