"Rockin' Chair (1965)"

Old rockin' chair 's got me, son.
Cane by my side.
Oh, fetch me that gin, son,
Before I tan your hide.
I can't get away from this old cabin,
I ain't goin' nowhere.
I'm just settin' here slappin' and yellin',
At these flies �round my old rockin' chair.

Your old aunt Harriet,
Here in heaven she may be.
Swing low sweet chariot,
It's the end of my troubles I see.

Old rockin' chair's got me son,
Judgement day is nye,
And I'm chained to my old rockin' chair.

Old rockin' chair 's got me, son.
Cane by my side � [song fades out]
