Rockin' Chair

Rockin' Chair - Mildred Bailey

Old rockin' chair's got me my cane by my side

Fetch me that gin son 'fore I tan your hide

Can't get from this cabin and goin' nowhere

Just set me here grabbin' at the flies round this rockin' chair

My dear old aunt Harriet in Heaven she be

Send me sweet chariot for the end of the trouble I see

Old rockin' chair gets it Judgement Day is here

Chained to my rockin' chair

Old rockin' chair's got me

My cane by my side

Fetch me a little gin son

Fore I tan your hide

I can't get from this old cabin

I ain't goin' nowhere

Just sittin' me here grabbin'

At the flies round this old rockin' chair

My dear old aunt Harriet

How long in Heaven she be

Send me down sweet chariot

For the end of the trouble I see

Old rockin' chair gets it Judgement Day is here

Chained to my rockin' chair
