Ol' 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, go no where
Just sit me here grabbin'
At the flies 'round my rockin' chair
Bridge
My dear old Aunt Harriet in Heaven she be
Send me sweet chariot, for the end of that trouble I see
Ol' rockin' chair gets it judgment day is here
Chained to my old rockin' chair
