ROCKING ALONE IN AN OLD ROCKING CHAIR

Hank Snow

Intro: C-G-C

C G

Sitting alone in an old rockin' chair

C

I saw an old mother with silvery hair

F Dm

She seemed so neglected by those who should care

G C

Rockin' alone in an old rockin' chair

G

Her hands were calloused and wrinkled and old

C

A life of hard work was the story they told

F Dm

And I thought of angels as I saw her there

G C

Rockin' alone in an old rockin' chair

G

Bless her old heart do you think she'd complain

C

Though life has been bitter she'd live it again

F Dm

And carry that cross that is more than her share

G C

Rockin' alone in an old rockin' chair

Instrumental G-C--D

Advance to “D”

D A

It wouldn't take much to gladden her heart

D

Just some small remembrance of somebody's part

G Em

A letter would brighten her empty life there

A D

Rockin' alone in an old rockin' chair

D A

I know some youngsters in an orphan's home

D

Who'd think they owned heaven if she was their own

G Em

They'd never be willing to let her sit there

A D

Rockin' alone in an old rockin' chair

D A

I look at her and I think what a shame

D

The ones who forgot her she loves just the same

G Em

And I think of angels as I see her there

A D

Rockin' alone in an old rockin' chair

A D

Rockin' alone in an old rockin' chair
