Well I ain't got no use / Ain't got no use for that red rockin' chair / I got no sugar baby now / Got no sugar, honey baby now Well I laid her in the shade. / I laid her in the shade I gave her every dime I made. / What else could a poor boy do? / What else could a poor boy do. Well who will call me honey? / Who will call me honey and who will sing that song? / Who will rock the cradle when I'm gone? / Who will rock the cradle when I'm gone? I'll rock the cradle. / I'll rock the cradle and I will sing that song. / I will rock the cradle when you're gone. / I will rock the cradle when you're gone. Well I ain't got no use / Ain't got no use for that red rockin' chair / I got no sugar baby now / Got no sugar, honey baby now Well I ain't got no use / Ain't got no use for that red rockin' chair / I got no sugar baby now / Got no sugar, honey baby now

There once was a girl that I loved so well / She lived with her parents and sisters three. / My intentions were pure, my advances were tame, / But the heart of this young maid I struggled to gain. And those black eyes have gone from me, oh the girl I loved so well! I courted her long and I gazed in her eyes / But they always seemed to look down to the side. / Our love, she explained, it could never be, / For she'd given her hand to a sailor at sea. The news came one morning her sailor at sea / Had married a lass in the Caribee. / Her heart it was broken and she flew away / And she swore she'd not stop while there's light in the day. Her mother and sisters were all kind to me / But nothing could tear me from my grief. / Seeing them there did only awake / More feelings of loss that she'd left in her wake. Next morning early I'll set out to start / To find this girl and to win her heart. / Though mountains are tall and the oceans have tides, / The tides may be strong and the rivers be wide... But I'll find her, where she has gone. She's the girl I love... And those black eyes have gone from me, She's the girl I love so well! She's the girl I love so well.
