Oh rockin chair got me, cane by my side.

Fetch me my gin son, fore I tan your hide.

Cant get from this cabin, I aint goin nowhere.

Sittin here grabbin at the bars round my rockin chair.

Remember ol Aunt Harriet, How long in heaven she be

Send out my chariot, for the end of my troubles, I see.

Oh rockin chair got me, judgement days almost here.

 Im chained to my old, rockin chair.
