ROCKIN' CHAIR DADDY
(Floyd)
HARMONICA FRANK FLOYD (SUN 205, 1954)

[Version 1]

Well, I'm a rockin' chair daddy from Mississippi way
And I rock all night and I rock all day
Rock two days, ain't a worry of mine
I can rock two days just any old time
Well, I rock my own way, started rockin' on their own
To take my rockin' your mama can't keep you at home

Well, I never went to college and I never went to school
But when it comes to rockin' I'm a rockin' fool
Need a little rockin' don't you tell me so
Give better rockin' you ever had before (rock it boy)
(Oh, shove, boot it now)

Well, I rock my own way, started rockin' on their own
To take my rockin' your mama can't keep you at home
Play that thing boy, it sure is good
Play it like you mean it
Never had some time with a good cool can of beer
I whoop them blues all away from here

Well, I rock my own way, started rockin' on their own
To take my rockin' your mama can't keep you at home
Rock 'em over and I rock 'em down
Rock 'em in the country and rock 'em in the town
Rock to Memphis on bandstand main
Up walked a lady and she asked me my name
Well, I told her my name was on the tag of shirt
A rockin' chair daddy, don't have to work

[Version 2]

Well, I'm a rockin' chair daddy from Mississippi way
Well, I rock all night and I rock all day
Well, I rocked in Memphis on bandstand main
Up walked a lady and she asked me my name
Well, I told her my name was on the tag of shirt
I'm a rockin' chair daddy, don't have to work
Well, the men don't like me 'cause I got 'em on the line
My baby's razy about me 'cause I take my time
Well, she needs a little rock 'n' roll, she tells me so
I can give you better rockin' you ever had before
Well, I rock 'em over and I rock 'em down
Rock 'em in the country and rock 'em in the town
Well, if you need a little rock 'n' roll, just tell me so
Give you better rockin' you ever had before
Rock 'n' roll...
