Rockin' Alone - The Everly Brothers
Sitting alone in an old rocking chair
I saw an old mother with silvery hair
She seemed so neglected by those
Who should care
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
Her hands were calloused and wrinkled and old
A life full of hard work was the story they told
And I've thought of angels as I saw her there
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
Bless her old heart do you think
She'd complain
Though life has been bitter
She'd live it again
And carry that cross that is more than her share
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
It wouldn't take much just to gladden her heart
Just some small embrace on somebody's heart
A letter would brighten her empty life there
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
I know some youngsters in an orphan's home
Would think they owned heaven
If she were their own
They'd never be willing till let her sit there
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
I look at her and I think what a shame
No ones who forgot her she loves
Just the same
And I think of angels as I see her there
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
