ROCKIN' CHAIR

from MY FOOLISH HEART by Tony O'Malley

/

lyrics

Moonlight on Swanee's muddy shore
By my door
Music I've often heard before
Hear'd no more

Years have slipped away left me longing
For the days of happiness I'll see no more

Ol' 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
Ain't goin' nowhere
Just sittin' here grabbin'
At the flies round this ol' rockin' chair

My dear ol' Aunt Harriet
Up in Heaven she be
Send down sweet chariot
For the end of these troubles I see

Ol' rockin' chair gets it
Judgement day is near
Chained to that ol' rockin' chair

Can't get from this cabin
Ain't goin' nowhere
Just sittin' here grabbin'
At the flies round this ol' rockin' chair

My dear ol' Aunt Harriet
Up in Heaven she be
Send down sweet chariot
For the end of these troubles I see

Ol' rockin' chair gets it
Judgement day is near
Chained to that ol' rockin' chair
Chained to that seat
Chained to that ol' rockin' chair
Years have slipped away
Left me longin' for the days of old
