Rocking Alone In An Old Rocking Chair chords by Frank Ifield
Verse 1
D
G
A
D
Rocking alone
A
in an old rocking chair,
D
I saw an old lady with silvery hair.
She seems so neglected
G
by those who should care
A
D
Rocking alone in her old rocking chair
God bless her heart,
A
do you think she'd complain
Though life has been bitter,
D
G
D
she'd live it again and carry that cross
G
that is more than her share,
A
D
rocking along in her old rocking chair.
Her hands were old calloused,
A
wrinkled and old.
D
A life of hard work was the story they told,
Em
And I thought of angels
D
G
as I saw her there
A
D
Rocking along in her old rocking chair
Drop a line to mother, boy
A
Remember she's your friend
You know she's getting old and grey
D
And hastens towards the end
A line from you would cheer her up,
G
Would make her whole heart glad,
For she'd know that you'd not
A
forgotten her.
D
Go on and drop her a line, my lad.
You took your troubles all to her,
A
And she soothed your troubled brow,
She even chased those clouds away.
D
Would you forget her now?
She is praying for you every day,
G
and no word from you she's had.
Em
G
A
A message now would
make her smile.
D
Go on and drop her a line, my lad.
Remember that you only
A
have one mother, boy,
and the one her place can take.
It'll be too late when she is gone,
D
so go on and write for her sweet sake.
And she'll take you to her warm heart still,
G
D
Em
That's if you've gone to the bad.
A
So don't be ashamed to call her name,
D
Go on and drop her a line, my lad.
Oh, I know some kiddies
A
in an orphanage home
Who'd think they owned
D
heaven if she was their
That'd never be willing
G
to let her sit there
A
D
Rocking alone in her old rocking chair.
