The year 2009 has turned into something a year of review of the folk revival of the 1960s. In November I featured a posting of many of the episodes (via “YouTube”) of Pete Seeger’s classic folk television show from the 1960s, “Rainbow Quest”. I propose to do the same here to end out the year with as many of the selections from Harry Smith’s seminal “Anthology Of American Folk Music,” in one place, as I was able to find material for, either lyrics or "YouTube" performances (not necessarily by the original performer). This is down at the roots, for sure.

Ain't no use to sit and cry
Sail away lady sail away
You'll be an angel bye and bye
Sail away lady sail away
Don't you rock 'im die - de - O
Don't you rock 'im die - de - O
Don't you rock 'im die - de - O
Don't you rock 'im die - de -O
Well I've got a home in Tennessee
Sail away lady sail away
That is where I'd rather be
Sail away lady sail away
Don't you rock 'im die - de - O
Don't you rock 'im die - de - O
Don't you rock 'im die - de - O
Don't you rock 'im die - de - O
Now come along boys and go with me
Sail away lady sail away
We'll go down to Tennessee
Sail away lady sail away
Don't you rock 'im die - de - O
Don't you rock 'im die - de - O
Don't you rock 'im die - de - O
Don't you rock 'im die - de - O
Whenever I get my new house done
Sail away lady sail away
Love you pretty girls one by one
Sail away lady sail away
Don't you rock 'im die - de - O
Don't you rock 'im die - de - O
Don't you rock 'im die - de - O
Don't you rock 'im die - de - O
Hush little baby don't you cry
Sail away lady sail away
You'll be an angel bye and bye
Sail away lady sail away
Don't you rock 'im die - de - O
Don't you rock 'im die - de - O
Don't you rock 'im die - de - O
Don't you rock 'im die - de - O
Don't you rock 'im die - de - O
Don't you rock 'im die - de - O
Don't you rock 'im die - de - O
Don't you rock 'im die - de - O
