Paul Robeson - Rockin' Chair Lyrics



Paul Robeson - Rockin' Chair Lyrics
Official




Moonlight, on cloudy, cloudy shores
By my door
Music I've often heard before
In all my heart

Years have flicked away and left me longing
For the dream of happiness I'll see no more

Old rockin' chair's got me, 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, cane by my side
Fetch me that gin, son, 'fore I tan your hide
Old rockin' chair gets it, Judgement Day is nigh
Chained to my rockin' chair
