Musiq Soulchild - Blue Rocking Chair lyrics

In Lousiana lowlands
In the fields of sugar cane
Stands an old abandoned cabin
With a blue rocking chair
It's stained with milk and whiskey
It tells a family history of the joy and the
Misery in that blue rocking chair

And it rocks,  my children are gone
All my dear children are gone

It was made of oak and maple
From the Blue Delta Stable
He rocked to the music every Saturday night
For six generations
All the kin and relations
'Til the water rose around them
And they left it all behind

And it rocks, my children are gone
All my dear children are gone

I can still hear the knocking
Of that blue chair a-rocking
And the old folks a talkin'
Of the trouble they shared
The rhythm of the cryin'
The laughin' and lyin'
All the living and dying in
That blue rocking chair

And it rocks, my children are gone
All my dear children are gone
And it rocks, my children are gone
All my dear children are gone
