Red Rocking Chair

1 6m
I got no use for the red rockin’ chair
1 6m
Ain’t got no honey baby now lord lord
1 5 1
I ain’t go no honey baby now

Who’ll rock the cradle and who’ll sing the song
Who’ll rock the cradle when I’m gone lord lord
Who’ll rock the cradle when I’m gone

I’ll rock the cradle and I’ll sing the song
I’ll rock the cradle when you’re gone lord lord
I’ll rock the cradle when you’re gone

I’ve done all I can do done all I can say
I can’t go on this a-way lord lord
I can’t go on this a-way

I’ve done all I can do done all I can say
I’ll sing it to your mama next payday lord lord
I’ll sing it to your mama next payday

I got no use for the red rockin’ chair
Ain’t got no honey baby now lord lord
I ain’t go no honey baby now
