louis armstrong - rockin’ chair (live at the bbc) lyrics

[spoken intro]
what you say we, eh, lay one of them good old good ones on the folks. (alright.) like one of them good old good ones that hoagy carmichael wrote called little old rockin’ chair

[verse 1: tyree glenn, (louis armstrong)]
old rockin’ chair’s got me (old rockin’ chair got you, father)
cane by my side (and your cane by your side)
fetch me some water (you know you don’t drink water, father)
before i tan your hide (my hide’s already tanned)

[verse 2: tyree glenn, (louis armstrong)]
can’t get from this cabin (what cabin? joking, father)
ain’t goin’ nowhere (you ain’t goin’ nowhere, yes)
just sittin’ here grabbin’ (grabbin’)
at the fliеs round my old rockin’ chair (rockin’ chair, oh lord)

[bridge: tyree glenn, (louis armstrong)]
my dear old aunt harriet?
(aunt harriet)
in hеaven she be?
(she been up there about a year and a half, daddy)
send me down sweet chariot
(scat)
for the end of the troubles i see
(my sweet chariot)

[verse 3: tyree glenn, (louis armstrong)]
old rockin’ chair’s get it (old rockin’ chair get it, father)
judgement day is here (tell ‘em ‘bout it father, yes)
i’m chained to my old rockin’ chair (play it daddy, yeah)
[verse 1: louis armstrong, (tyree glenn)]
look like old rockin’ chair got you, daddy
(yeah pops, old rockin’ chair got me, i’m tellin’ you)
there’s that cane down there by your treaders
(right where i can pick it up and tread right on down)
but i got no gin father
(what? you ain’t got no gin?)
no, you gonna tan my hide
(give you a good spankin’)

[verse 2: louis armstrong, (tyree glenn)]
now, you can’t get from this cabin
(this cabin?) no father, yes
but you ain’t goin’ nowhere
(i don’t wanna go nowhere a long time)
you sit here grabbin’ (grabbin?)
you grabbin’ (grabbin?), you grabbin’ (yeah)
at the flies round the old rockin’ chair, rockin’ chair (yeah)

[bridge: louis armstrong, (tyree glenn)]
you remember old aunt harriet, don’t you daddy?
(yeah, you know i remember old aunt harriet)
(but i don’t remember her that well) scat
a chariot, a chariot
(i got for the ride)
curse the time it troubled both of us this evening
(n0body knows the trouble i’ve seen)
[verse 3: louis armstrong, (tyree glenn), both]
old rockin’ chair get it (rockin’ chair get it)
rockin’ chair get it (yeah)
and judgement day
yes judgement day is here, oh judgement day is here
you’re sittin’ here chained your rockin’ chair
