jack the lad (uk) - rocking chair lyrics
sitting by the fire in an old rocking chair
like my granddaddy taught me to do
listening intently to the words he had to tell me
because in my mind, i knew they were true
he said he’d sail the seven seas in ships with tall masts and sails
and he’d ridden from london to leeds in one day
as i’ve walked the paths of time, i’ve discovered many things
things that i had to force myself to do
like study and find a job, take a wife and feed my kids
and i did then cos i thought they would do
and i never sailеd the seven sеas in ships with tall masts and sails
i never rode from london to leeds in one day
as i’ve gone through my life, i’ve collected many assets
and folks say that i am successful as can be
and my poor granddaddy died without a penny to his name
he was a d+mn slight more successful than me
because he’d sail the seven seas in ships with tall masts and sails
and he’d ridden from london to leeds in one day
and now i’m sitting by the fire in that old rocking chair
and i’m thinking of the times around me now
i’m searching for a yard to tell my own grandson
and i’m wishing to god that time was disallowed
so i can sail the seven seas in ships with tall masts and sails
and ride from london to leeds in one day
sail the seven seas in ships with tall masts and sails
and ride from london to leeds in one day
sail the seven seas in ships with tall masts and sails
and ride from london to leeds in one day
