I loved my mother's rocking chair,
So cheery and so bright;
'Twas small and round and painted red,
It was my chief delight.

The seat was deep, the back was round,
It fit you, oh, so snug;
I loved to rock in mother's arms,
She'd hold me tight and hug
Me, oh, so close up to her heart;
Then all my fears would soon depart.

I would love to see once more, my dear,
That dear old rocking chair,
To be a child in mother's arms,
To feel the comfort there.
And that old kitchen, the old blue clock,
The winding wooden stair,
But memory dear has painted clear
A picture, oh, so fair
Of my mother and her kitchen and
The little rocking chair.
