Sail Away Lyrics - Sonny & Brownie - Brownie Mcghee & Sonny Terry

Lock the door, sun's a fallin'. 

Poke the fire, don't let the cold in. 

Gonna try to sail away from the rest of my life. 

Found a boat to make the break in. 

Filled with hope 'bout the step I'm takin'. 

Gonna try to sail away from the rest of my life. 

Spent a long time list'ning to the captain of the sea, 

Shoutin' orders to his crew; no one hears but me. 

Cast away, tide's a runnin' 

Hoist the sail, strong wind's comin'. 

Gonna try to sail away from the rest of my life. 

Spent a long time list'ning to the captain of the sea, 

Shoutin' orders to his crew; no one hears but me. 

Lock the door, sun's a fallin'. 

Poke the fire, don't let the cold in. 

Gonna try to sail away from the rest of my life. 

Gonna try to sail away from the rest of my life.
