About Rockin' Chair

Rockin' Chair is a 1975 crossover single by Gwen McCrae. The song is not to be confused with either Fats Domino's 1951 R&B hit of the same name or the 1929 "Rockin' Chair" by Hoagy Carmichael. "Rockin' Chair" was McCrae's sole entry into the top 10 on both the soul and pop charts. The single hit number nine on the pop charts, and number one on the soul chart for one week. In Canada, "Rockin' Chair" spent two weeks at number 23.

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 get home this mornin'
And he brought me bad news
He said your bad gal just pass me
With a suitcase in her hand
He said your bad gal just pass me
With a 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 come back
I'm gonna rock in my rockin' chair
Until she come back
I'm gonna rock in my rockin' chair
Cause without my baby
I just can't get nowhere
