Your Rockin' Chair

A gamblin' man was dealin'
 I drew a jack a' spades
 A-way down in the swamp somewhere
 Deep in the Everglades
 The candle on the table
 Lit up your face and hair
 I lost it at the game but then
 I won your rockin' chair
 Chorus:
 Your rockin' chair
 Your rockin' chair
 Now, I can hear the creakin'
 The sound there on the floor
 The way ya rock that chair with me
 Just makes me want some more
 The legs are carved and slender
 The seat is soft as snow
 And when we get to sittin' down
 It's back and forth we go
 Chorus repeat
 Now other chairs I sat in
 May I pay you regard
 None never fit me quite as snug
 Or rocked me quite as hard
 Now when you think of sittin' down
 In some new rockin' chair
 No other one's in mind but yours
 And nothin' will compare
 So now the night is darker
 Don't know what's 'round the bend
 I'm back there at the table
 And I'm losin' once again
 The years go by like lightnin'
 A year seems like a week
 But I still every night think of
 Rockin' there in your seat
 Chorus repeat
 The way you move in moonlight
 Yeah, you always took me in
 The wind blow through your curtains
 And the way ya burned the gin
 And then you'd start to dancin'
 Hear the music from the shore
 You'd pull out that old rockin' chair
 And rock me on the floor
 I wake up in the mornin'
 Here in this vacant lot
 That bottle in my hand
 So I just took another shot
 Sometimes in life a hand is dealt
 That you don't think is fair
 But you can fold, or maybe bluff
 Or ride that rockin' chair
 Chorus repeat x2
