I called you all together for in just an hour or two
There'll be an auction on the square that just might int'rest you
It's 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 when all of us kids were sound to asleep
Now I guess we were all just too busy fulfilling each one's worldly dreams
To even care when they took the old 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 lotta love to spare
Now all I ask and it's not too much is just go with me down 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
Just go with me for one last look at the chair that rocked us all
