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 going nowhere

Just set me here grabbing at the flies round this rocking chair

My dear old aunt Harriet how long in Heaven she be

Send me sweet chariot for the end of the trouble I see

Old rocking chair gets it Judgement Day is here

Chained to my rocking chair

Old rocking chair's got me

My cane by my side

Fetch me a little gin son

Fore I tan your hide

I can't get from this old cabin

I going nowhere

Just sitting me here grabbing

At the flies round this old rocking chair

Now you remember dear old aunt Harriet

How long in Heaven she be

Send me down sweet chariot

For the end of the trouble I see

Old rocking chair gets it Judgement Day is here

Chained to my rocking chair
