Old rockin' chair's got me
Canne by my side
Fetch me that gin, son, 'fore I tan your hide

I can't get from this cabin
Ain't goin' nowhere
Just set me here grabbin'
At the flies 'round this rockin' chair

My dear old aunt Harriet
Up in Heaven she be
Send me sweet chariot
For the end of the trouble I see

Old rockin' chair gets it
Judgment day is here
Chained to my rockin' chair

My dear old aunt Harriet
Way up in Heaven she be
Come on, and send me sweet chariot
For the end of all the trouble I see

Old rockin' chair gets it
For the judgment day is here
Chained to my old rockin' chair
