Rockin’ Alone In An Old Rockin’ Chair

3 Plays

Duration: 3:13

Sitting alone in an old rockin' chair I saw an old mother with silvery hair She seemed so neglected by those who should care Rocking alone in an old rockin' chair Her hands were callused, wrinkled, and old A life of hard work was the story they told And I thought of angels as I saw her there Rocking alone in an old rockin' chair [ steel ] Bless her ol' heart, do you think she'd complain? Though life has been bitter, she'd live it again And carry that cross that is more than her share Rocking alone in an old rockin' chair It wouldn't take much to gladden her heart Just some small remembrance on somebody's part A letter would brighten her empty life there Rocking alone in an old rockin' chair [ steel ] I know some kids in an orphan's home Who'd think they owned Heaven if she was their own They'd never be willing to let her sit there Rocking alone in an old rockin' chair I look at her, and I think, What a shame The ones who forgot her she loves just the same And I think of angels as I see her there Rocking alone in an old rockin' chair
