Lyrics: Traditional
Music: Traditional

Performed by Jerry Garcia and David Grisman. Not to be confused with Rockin' Chair, also performed by Garcia/Grisman. Thanks to Matt Schofield for the lyrics.

Who'll rock the cradle
Who'll sing this song
Who'll rock the cradle when I'm gone
Who'll rock the cradle when I'm gone

Well I'll rock the cradle
I'll sing the song
I'll rock the cradle when you're gone
I'll rock the cradle when you're gone

It's all I can do
It's all I can sing
Sing it to your mama next payday
I'll sing it to your mama next payday

I ain't got no use
For your red rocking chair
I ain't got no sugar baby, no
I ain't got no sugar baby, no

I done all I can do
I sung all I can sing
I'll sing it to your mama next payday
I'll sing it to your mama next payday

I ain't got no use
For your red rocking chair
I ain't got no honey baby, no
I ain't got no sugar baby, no
