Subject: RE: Lyr: Sail Away Ladies (Don't You Rock Me, Daddy-o)
Just came across this website by accident, looking for lyrics from Homer and Jethro's 'Now Here's A Song About A Cow'. I'm delighted to find your site has so many of their song lyrics, plus a lot of other old singers and old songs I was raised on. And yes, I'm saying I'm (getting) old! :)

I first heard 'Don't You Rock 'Em Daddy-O sung by the Womenfolk on their Womenfolk Vol. 2 LP Album released in 1964. In the lyrics they sang was the phrase 'Sail Away, Ladies, Sail Away'.

I'm sorry I don't have any information to add to the great collection of facts about the history of the lyrics of the original song; just wanted to provide another source of a rendition of it.

For any one that's interested, Amazon has most of the Womenfolk Albums available for mp3 download. I was glad to find those - it was like welcoming old friends back after a long absence.

Thanks for this great website and all the treasures it holds!
