I called you all together for in just an hour or two 

There'll be an auction on the square just might int'rest you

The first time I've seen most of you since mama passed away

And that old chair that rocked us all will be auctioned off today



Well I guess you know of course I lost the farm

That daddy sweated all his life to keep

And even worked sometimes by moonlight

Oh when all of us kids were sound to asleep

Now I guess we were all just too busy fulfilling worldly dreams

To even care when they took the chair along with all the other things

You know if you could capture all the love that we found in that old chair

Why you could wipe out all the hatred in this old world

And you'd still have a lot of love to spare

Now all I ask and it's not too much is just go with me to the square

And let's take a look among all the other things at mama's old rocking chair



And look at all the teeth marks put there when we were small

Yes go with me for one last look at the chair that rocked us all
