C                   G7
Sitting alone in an old rockin' chair 
                         C
I saw an old mother with silvery hair
                           F
She seemed so neglected by those who should care 
G7                              C
Rocking alone in an old rockin' chair
 
                             G7
Her hands were calloused and wrinkled and old
                                  C
A life full of hard work were the story they told
                              F
And I've thought of angels as I saw her there 
G7                              C
Rocking alone in an old rockin' chair
 
                              G7
It wouldn't take much just to gladden her heart
                              C
Just some small re-embrace on somebody's heart
                            F
A letter would brighten her empty heart there 
G7                              C
Rocking alone in an old rockin' chair
 
                            G7
I know some youngsters in an orphan's home
                                 C
Would think they owned heaven if she were their own
                           F
They'd never be willing to let her sit there 
G7                              C
Rocking alone in an old rockin' chair
 
                    G7
I look at her and I think what a shame
                            C
The ones who forgot her she loves just the same
                         F
And I think of angels as I see her there 
G7                              C
Rocking alone in an old rockin' chair
G7                              C
Rocking alone in an old rockin' chair
