Lyrics John Lee Hooker

John Lee Hooker

Rockin' Chair

I ain't gonna be, I ain't gonna be, babe, your fool no

more

I ain't gonna be, be, no, no, I ain't gonna be, be,

your fool no more

I'm so tired, so tired, babe, being your slave, both

night and day

I'm sittin' here rockin', rockin' rockin' rockin'

Rockin' these blues away, tryin' so hard

I'm tryin' so hard, so hard rock these blues away,

In my rockin' chair, my old time rockin' chair, rockin'

chair

Lord, have mercy

I believe, I believe, my woman seeing someone else

I believe, I believe, I believe, she's seeing someone

else

All I can do, all I can do, all I can do, rock in my

old time rockin' chair

Have mercy!

Rockin', rockin', rockin', rockin', rockin' in' these

blues away

I tried so hard, tried, tried, tried, rock these blues

out of my mind

All my friends tell me, tell me, I just waste my tears

on you

All my friends tell me, tell, tell me, tell me, tell

me, I just waste my tears on you

No, no, no, no, no, no

Gonna keep on trying, keep on try, tryin' to rock these

blues away

Rock these blues away

Rock me on, hmm, hmm

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm

Rock these blues, rock these blues away from me
