Rockin' Chair Swing — текст песни

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, goin' nowhere

Just set me here grabbin' at the flies round this rocking chair

My dear old aunt Harriet, 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, son, (rocking chair got you father)

My cane by my side, (yes, your cane by your side)

Now fetch me a little gin son, (ain't got no gin, father)

What? 'fore I tan your hide, now, (you're gonna tan my hide)

You know, I can’t get from this old cabin, (what cabin? joking)

I ain’t goin' nowhere. (why ain’t you goin' nowhere?)

Just sittin' me here grabbin' (grabbin') at the flies round this old rocking

chair

(rocking chair)

Now you remember dear old aunt Harriet, (aunt Harriet)

How long in Heaven she be? (she's up in Heaven)

Send me down, send me down sweet (sweet chariot) chariot

End of this trouble I see. (I see, daddy)

Old rocking chair gets it son, (rocking chair get it, father)

Judgement day is here, too. (your judgement day is here)

Chained to my rocking, old rocking chair
