Once again in the time of trouble, I've seen
Send me a sweet chariot
(Grabbin', grabbin')
Old dear aunt Harriet
(Yes son, how long to heaven she be?)
(Yeah, nobody knows the trouble I've seen)
(Heaven she be)
(Yeah I got your ride, I got your ride, got every chariot)
My dear old, aunt Harriet
How long to Heaven she be?
(Yes, indeed, yes indeed, yes indeed, you got it)
At the flies 'round my rockin' chair
Oh, you gonna tan my hide, tan my hide
(Well, that's all the sadness)
(Your cane by your side)
(Aha, aha)
Oh chariot, oh chariot, chariot, chariot, chariot
And your cane by your side
(My sweet Cherie)
Cane by my side
Chained to my old
(Judgment)
(Yeah, you don't like that)
Rockin' chair
(Sing it pop, sing it)
(You ain't goin' nowhere?)
(You're gonna tan my hide)
(Aunt Harriet)
Old rockin' chair gets it
For the end of the trouble I see
You can't get from this cabin
(Yeah, yeah get it)
Ain't go nowhere
'Fore I tan your hide
Can't get from this cabin
Oh no, father, but you ain't goin' nowhere
[Incomprehensible]
You sittin' here grabbin', you grabbin', you grabbin'
(Can't get around no more)
(Man, I don't wanna go nowhere)
(Judgment Day is here)
(Rockin' chair)
(Rocking chair get it, father)
May up in heaven she be
(I ain't got no gin, father)
Old rockin' chair get it, rockin' chair get it
(Old rockin' chair get it)
Old rocking chair got you, father
(Grabbin' )
(Oh chariot)
(Cabin, joking follow)
Fetch me that gin, son
But I ain't got no gin, father
Just sittin' me here grabbin'
Judgment Day is almost here
And Judgment Day, oh, Judgment Day
The flies 'round the old rockin' chair, rockin' chair
