Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Old rockin' chair got me

Cane by my side

Fetch me my gin, son

'Fore I tan your hide

[Verse 2]

Get from this cabin

I ain't goin' nowhere

I'm sittin' here grabbin'

At the flies round my rockin' chair

[Verse 3]

Remember old Aunt Harriet?

How long in heaven she'd be

Send out my chariot

For the end to my troubles, I see

[Verse 4]

Old rockin' chair got me

And Judgment Day is almost here

Chained to my old rockin' chair

[Verse 5]

Can't get from this cabin

I ain't goin' nowhere

Sittin' here grabbin'

At the flies round my rockin' chair

[Verse 6]

Remember old Aunt Harriet?

How long in heaven she'd be

Please send down my chariot

For the end of my troubles, I see

[Verse 7]

Old rockin' chair got me

Judgment Day's almost here

I'm chained to my old rockin' chair

Chained to my old rockin' chair
