Rock away my troubles rock away my cares I rock my way to heaven in that easy rockin' chair I feel just as wealthy as a millionaire When I get back to Dixie in that easy rockin' chair Everyone your neighbor welcome on the mat Just sittin', doin', nothin' and not too much of that Thumbing through the good book thinking of a prayer Oh, I can get the liftin' in that easy rockin' chair Rockin' free and easy time a going by And neath that evening paper till I swat this pesty fly There I go a dozin' guess it's in the air I gotta do some dreaming in that easy rockin' chair Rock away my trouble
