Old rock -in' chair's got me, Cane by my side,

Fetch me that gin, son, 'fore I tan your hide,

Can't get from this ca -bin, goin' no -where,

Just sit me here grab -bin' at the flies 'round this rock -in' chair.

My dear old Aunt Har -ri -et, In hea -ven she be,

Send me sweet char -ri -ot For the end of the trou -ble I see,

Old rock -in' chair's gets it, Judge -ment day is here,

Chained to my rock -in' chair.
