From the recording The Best of Violet Treece
IF THERE’S A ROCKING CHAIR IN HEAVEN
VERSE 1
The big two story farmhouse was her castle
Her man of forty years, her shining knight
The rocker on her front porch was her chapel
There she’d rock and pray and hold her baby tight
VERSE 2
Her family and her children gave her pleasure
With thirteen kids she never was alone
When they were all together she was happy
Til the Lord called her youngest baby home
CHORUS 1
If there’s a children’s choir in heaven, they’re singing
And another singer just joined in the song
Because its momma sang Amazing Grace then there’s a smile on the baby’s face
But its momma still a rockin’ there at home
VERSE 3
I’ve heard it said that home is where the heart is
And her heart went with her little one I know
For years and years she’s rocked out there a dreamin’
Until yesterday the Lord let momma go
CHORUS 2
If there’s a rocking chair in Heaven she’s rocking
If her mansion has a big front porch she’s there
If there’s a rocker found in all that place
Then there’s a smile on the babies face
Momma sweetly singing over there
TAG
If there’s a rocker found in all that place
Then there’s a smile on the babies face
Momma sweetly singing over there
