I'm gonna buy myself a rockin' chair

Try to rock away my blues

I'm gonna buy myself a rockin' chair

Try to rock away my blues

'Cause my friend came home this morning

And he brought me bad news

He said, "Your best girl just passed me

With the suitcase in her hand"

He said, "Your best girl just passed me

With the suitcase in her hand"

And she wasn't out alone

She was with another man

Please, baby, please come home

Please, baby, please come home

Please don't leave me alone

Until she comes back

I'm gonna rock in my rockin' chair

Until she comes back

I'm gonna rock in my rockin' chair

'Cause without my baby

I just can't get nowhere
