Old rockin' chair's got me
Cane by my side
Fetch me that gin, son
'Fore I tan your hide

Can't get from this cabin
Ain't goin' nowhere
Just sitting here grabbing
At them flies round this old rockin' chair

My dear old aunt Harriet
Up in heaven she be
Send down sweet chariot
For the end of these troubles I see

Old rockin' chair
Judgement day is near
I'm chained to that old rockin' chair

Old rockin' chair's got me
Cane by my side
Fetch me that gin, son
'Fore I tan your hide

Can't get from this cabin
Ain't goin' nowhere
Just sitting here grabbing
At them flies round this old rockin' chair
My dear old aunt Harriet
Up in heaven she be
Send down sweet chariot
For the end of these troubles I see

Old rockin' chair
Judgement day is near
I'm chained to that old rockin' chair

Chained to that old rockin' chair
