Don't You Rock Me Daddy-O (Sail Away Ladies)

Lew Dite with his concert ukulele.
A song Lonnie Donegan taught me to love.
Plus some photos of my visit to Tom Dula's (Tom Dooley) grave in 2001.

Hi there lewdite, good collection of vids you have. Awesome. I am a big lonnie donegan fan myself got a huge collection of songs and still looking for chords for most of them. You got the chords for this one? Or other ones aswell. Hope you can help me out. Cheers.

I'm guessing you made up the verse about Tom Dooley's grave yourself?

This is a great song, but I've only heard two people sing it: Lonnie Donegan and yourself.

[eisidisirock]

I think ukuleles got a sound way cooler than guitars.

[kylecrazyford]

Great Job Man, what are the chords, i got D and a but i couldn't see the rest.
