I'm gonna buy myself a rockin' chair Try to rock away my blues I'm gonna buy myself a rockin' chair Try to rock away my blues 'Cause my friend came home this morning And he brought me bad news He said, "Your best girl just passed me With the suitcase in her hand" He said, "Your best girl just passed me With the suitcase in her hand" And she wasn't out alone She was with another man Please, baby, please come home Please, baby, please come home Please don't leave me alone Until she comes back I'm gonna rock in my rockin' chair Until she comes back I'm gonna rock in my rockin' chair 'Cause without my baby I just can't get nowhere
