[Verse 1]
Old rockin' chair's got me, son (Rockin' chair got you, father)
My cane layin' by my side (Cane by your side)
Fetch me that gin, son (I ain't got no gin, father)
'Fore I tan your hide, now (You're gonna tan my hide)

[Verse 2]
I can't get from this cabin (What cabin? Joking)
I ain't goin' nowhere (You goin' nowhere)
Just sittin' me here grabbin' (Grabbin')
Grabbin' the flies round this rockin' chair (Rockin' chair)

[Bridge]
Mmm, my dear old aunt Harriet (Aunt Harriet)
How long in Heaven you've been? (You've been)
Send me, send me a sweet chariot (Oh chariot)
For the end of this trouble I see (I see, Daddy)

[Verse 3]
Old rockin' chair get it (Rocking chair get it)
Judgement Day is here (Judgement Day is here)
Chained, chained to my rockin' chair
