Old rockin' chair's got me
Cane by my side
Fetch me my gin, son
'Fore I tan your hide

Can't get from this cabin
I ain't goin' nowhere
Sittin' here grabbin'
At the flies 'round my rockin' chair

Remember old aunt Harriet
How long in Heaven she'd be
Send out my chariot
For the end in my trouble, I see

Old rockin' chair got me
Judgement Day is almost here
Chained to my old rockin' chair

Can't get from this cabin
I ain't goin' nowhere
Sittin' here grabbin'
At the flies 'round my rockin' chair

Remember old aunt Harriet
How long in Heaven she'd be
Please send down my chariot
For the end in my troubles, I see

Old rockin' chair got me
Judgement Day is almost here
I'm chained to my old rockin' chair
Chained to my old rockin' chair
