Old rockin' chair's got me
 Cane by my side
 Fetch me my gin, son
 'Fore I tan your hide

 Can't get from this cabin
 I ain't goin' nowhere
 Sittin' here grabbin'
 At the flies 'round my rockin' chair

 Remember old aunt Harriet
 How long in Heaven she'd be
 Send out my chariot
 For the end in my trouble, I see

 Old rockin' chair got me
 Judgement Day is almost here
Chained to my old rockin' chair

 Can't get from this cabin
 I ain't goin' nowhere
 Sittin' here grabbin'
 At the flies 'round my rockin' chair

 Remember old aunt Harriet
 How long in Heaven she'd be
 Please send down my chariot
 For the end in my troubles, I see

 Old rockin' chair got me
 Judgement Day is almost here
 I'm chained to my old rockin' chair
 Chained to my old rockin' chair
