C                   G7 
Sitting alone in an old rocking 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 rocking chair 
  
                                 G7 
Her hands were all calloused and wrinkled and old 
                             C 
A life of hard work were the story they told 
                           F 
And I thought of angels as I saw her there  
G7                              C 
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair 
  
                      G7 
Bless her old heart do you think she'd complain 
                                  C 
Though life has been bitter she'd live it again 
                             F 
And carry that cross that is more than her share 
G7                              C 
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair 

                              G7 
It wouldn't take much just to gladden her heart 
                               C 
Just some small remembrance on somebody's part 
                            F 
A letter would brighten her empty life there  
G7                              C 
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair 
  
                          G7 
I know some youngsters in an orphan's home 
                                 C 
Would think they owned heaven if she was their own 
                           F 
They'd never be willing to let her sit there  
G7                              C 
Rocking alone in an old rocking 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 rocking chair
