- 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,
goin' nowhere,
- Just sit me here grabbin'
at the flies 'round this rockin' chair.
- My dear old Aunt Harriet,
In heaven she be,
- Send me sweet charriot,
For the end of the trouble I see,
- Old rockin' chair's gets
it, Judgement day is here,
- Chained to my rockin' chair.
