Song Lyrics

Old rockin' chair got me, son, (old rocking chair got you, father)
My cane layin' by my side, (cane by your side)
Fetch me that gin, son (I ain't got no gin, father)
'Fore I tan your hide, now, (you're gonna tan my hide)

I can't get from this old cabin (What cabin? joking)
I ain't goin' nowhere (you ain't goin' nowhere)
Just sittin' here grabbin' (grabbin')
Grabbin' the flies 'round this old rockin' chair (rockin' chair)

Hmm, my dear old aunt Harriet (aunt Harriet)
How long in Heaven you be? (where you be in Heaven?)
Send me, send me a sweet chariot (oh, chariot)
For the end of the trouble I see (I see, Daddy)

Old rockin' chair gets it, son (rocking chair get it)
Oh, judgement Day is here, son (judgement day is here)
Chained, chained to my rockin' chair

Hoagy Carmichael
