Rockin' Chair Lyrics

Old rocking 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
Goin' nowhere
Just set me here grabbin'
At the flies ′round my rockin′ chair

My dear old Aunt Harriet
In heaven she be
Send me sweet chariot
For the end of that trouble I see
Old rocking chair gets it
Judgment day is here
Chained to my old rocking chair

You know, son, old rocking chair's got me
(Rocking chair got you, father)
Yes, and my cane′s by my side
(Yes, your cane's by your side)
Now fetch me, fetch me a little gin, son
(Ain′t got no gin, father)
'Fore I tan your hide, boy

(You′re gonna tan my hide)
Now you know I can't get from this old cabin
(What cabin? Jokin')

And I ain′t goin′ nowhere

(Why ain't you goin′ nowhere?)
Well, just sit me here grabbin' (Grabbin′)
At these old flies 'round this old rickety rocking chair

My dear old Aunt Harriet
Way up in heaven she be
Send me sweet chariot
For the end of that trouble I see
(I see, daddy)
Old rocking chair gets it
Judgment day is here
Chained to my old rocking chair
