Old rockin' 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 rockin' chair
My dear old aunt Harriet, in Heaven she be
Send me sweet chariot, for the end of the trouble I see
Old rockin' chair gets it, Judgement Day is here
Chained to my rockin' chair

Old rockin' 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 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 rockin' chair Rockin' 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 rockin' chair gets it, son Rocking chair get it, father
Judgement Day is here, too Your Judgement Day is here

Chained to my rockin', old rockin' chair
