Lyrics:
Oh, I ain’t got no use for your red rocking chair
I ain’t got no honey baby now,
I ain’t got no sugar baby now.
It's who’ll rock the cradle, who’ll sing the song?
Who’ll rock the cradle when I’m gone
Who’ll rock the cradle when I’m gone
It's I'll rock the cradle and I'll sing your song
I will rock the cradle when you’re gone
I will rock the cradle when you’re gone
Well it’s all I can do and it’s all I can say
Take you to your mama next pay day
Take you to your mama next pay day.
Well it’s all I can do and it’s all I can say
I can't get along this a way
I can't get along this a way
I ain’t got no use for your red rocking chair
I ain’t got no honey baby now
I ain’t got no sugar baby now
I ain’t got no honey baby now
I ain’t got no sugar baby now
