Rocking Alone in an Old Rocking Chair

Sittin' alone in an old rockin' chair
I saw an old mother with silvery hair
She seemed so neglected by those who should care
Rockin' alone in an old rockin' chair
It wouldn’t take much just to gladden her heart
Just some small remembrance on somebody’s part
A letter would brighten her lonely life there
Rockin' alone in an old rockin' chair
I know some youngsters in an orphan home
Who’d think they were in heaven if she was their own
They’d never be willing to let her sit there
Rockin' alone in an old rockin' chair
I look at her and I think, «What a shame»
The ones who forgot her, she loves just the same
And I think of angels as I see her there
Rockin' alone in an old rockin' chair
