Rockin’ Chair (Live At The BBC) Louis Armstrong

[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)
