Rockin’ Chair (Live at the Crescendo Club, 1955) Louis Armstrong and His All Stars

[Spoken Intro]
Thank you folks, thank you
Here's one coming up for Trummy Young and myself
A little old rockin' chair's got you, son

[Verse 1: Trummy Young, (Louis Armstrong)]
Old rockin' chair's got me
(Old rockin’ chair got you, father)
I got my cane by my side
(And your cane by your side)
You better fetch me a little water
(You know you don’t drink water, father)
Son, I'm gonna tan your hide
(My hide’s already tanned)

[Verse 2: Trummy Young, (Louis Armstrong)]
I just can't get from this cabin
(What cabin? Joking father)
I ain't goin' nowhere
(You ain't goin' nowhere, yes)
I'm just a-sittin' here grabbin'
(Grabbin')
At the flies round my old rockin' chair
(Rockin' chair, Lord)

[Bridge: Trummy Young, (Louis Armstrong)]
Now, Dipper (What you say, daddy?)
You remember old aunt Harriet? (I remember old Aunt Harriet)
Way up in Heaven she be?
(She been up there about a year and a half) That's what I'm...
Please send me down one chariot
(Oh, scat)
For the end of the trouble I see
(My chariot)
