Rockin’ Chair (Live at Newport Jazz Festival, 1958) Louis Armstrong (Ft. Jack Teagarden)

[Verse 1: Jack Teagarden, (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 my gin, son (You know you don’t drink gin, father)
‘Fore I tan your hide (My hide’s already tanned)

[Verse 2: Jack Teagarden, (Louis Armstrong)]
Can't get from this cabin, old cabin (What cabin? Joking father, yes)
Ain't goin' nowhere (You ain't goin' nowhere, yes)
Just sittin' here grabbin' (Grabbin')
At the flies round my rockin' chair (Rockin' chair)

[Bridge: Jack Teagarden, (Louis Armstrong)]
Now, do you remember dear old aunt Harriet?
(Yes, I remember old Aunt Harriet)
How long in Heaven she be?
(Oh, she been up there about a year and a half, father)
Send me a sweet chariot (scat)
For the end of the trouble I see (My sweet chariot)

[Verse 3: Jack Teagarden, (Louis Armstrong)]
Old rockin' chair’s got me Louis, got me
(Old rockin’ chair get it, father)
And the Judgement Day is comin’ up on me
(Tell ‘em ‘bout it father)
Chained to my old rockin' chair
(Boys, take it out strong)
