As recorded by The Everly Brothers (From the 1958 Album SONGS OUR DADDY TAUGHT US) [Intro] D [Verse 1]
D                   A           A7
Sitting alone in an old rocking chair

                         D
I saw an old mother with silvery hair

    D7                     G
She seemed so neglected by those who should care

A                               D
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
[Verse 2]
D                               A            A7
Her hands were all callused and wrinkled and old

                            D
A life of hard work was the story they told

    D7                     G
And I thought of angels as I saw her there

A                   A7          D
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
[Verse 3]
D                           A              A7
Bless her old heart, do you think she'd complain

                                  D
Though life has been bitter she'd live it again

    D7                       G
And carry that cross that is more than her share

A                               D
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
[Verse 4]
D                             A           A7
It wouldn't take much just to gladden her heart

                               D
Just some small remembrance on somebody's part

  D7                        G
A letter would brighten her empty life there

A                               D
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
[Verse 5]
D                         A           A7
I know some youngsters in an orphans' home

                                 D
Who'd think they owned heaven if she was their own

       D7                  G
They'd never be willing to let her sit there

A                               D
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
[Verse 6]
D                   A             A7
I look at her and I think "What a shame"

                            D
The ones who forgot her she loves just the same

    D7                   G
And I think of angels as I see her there

A                               D
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
