THE OLD ROCKING CHAIR by Brian & Michael

I courted your old granma along the canal walks
And I told her shes the fairest of them all,
And I told her that I loved her and I wanted her for mine
And I wrote it all along the gasworks wall.

Now she gave me six fine sons and ya father he was one
And she kept the home together and her favorites she had none
But the war it cut the family down to more than half its size
And I saw ya granma aging right before me very eyes

"She was bonnie, she was fair,
And we made a lovely pair
I'd give half the world to see her
In that old rocking chair"

Now an angel called on us one night and took ya gran away
But I just had time to comb and plait her hair
And although lonely times did face me and it nearly broke me heart
Nobody else could fill that rocking chair

"She was bonnie, she was fair,
And we made a lovely pair
I'd give half the world to see her
In that old rocking chair"
