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
