Bessie Smith - Rocking Chair Blues lyrics

rate me

He'll make you love, he'll make you cry, he'll sit right down and moan

I'm going to the river carryin' a brand new rockin' chair

I'm going to the river carryin' a brand new rockin' chair

I'm gonna ask Mister Tadpole to move all his stuff from here

Blues jumped a rabbit, run him for a solid mile

Blues jumped a rabbit, run him for a solid mile

The rabbit turned over and he cried like a natural
