I ain't gonna be, I ain't gonna be, babe, your fool no 
more
I ain't gonna be, be, no, no, I ain't gonna be, be, 
your fool no more
I'm so tired, so tired, babe, being your slave, both 
night and day
I'm sittin' here rockin', rockin' rockin' rockin'
Rockin' these blues away, tryin' so hard
I'm tryin' so hard, so hard rock these blues away,
In my rockin' chair, my old time rockin' chair, rockin' 
chair
Lord, have mercy
I believe, I believe, my woman seeing someone else
I believe, I believe, I believe, she's seeing someone 
else
All I can do, all I can do, all I can do, rock in my 
old time rockin' chair
Have mercy!
Rockin', rockin', rockin', rockin', rockin' in' these 
blues away
I tried so hard, tried, tried, tried, rock these blues 
out of my mind
All my friends tell me, tell me, I just waste my tears 
on you
All my friends tell me, tell, tell me, tell me, tell 
me, I just waste my tears on you
No, no, no, no, no, no
Gonna keep on trying, keep on try, tryin' to rock these 
blues away
Rock these blues away
Rock me on, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Rock these blues, rock these blues away from me
