Creak…creak…creak…Listen to their love call.
Creak…creak…creak…A pair of old rocking chairs,
knotty pine, Gran Dad and Gee Maw.
Creak..creak…creak…Been together 67 years in all…
My Great, Great Grand Pappy
bought ’em at an estate sale over in Sweetwater,
brought ’em home to set on the porch
and catch him some evening sunset.
He caught his own sunset not long after —
named pneu-mon-i-a, and upped and died.
And not long after, Great, Great Grand Mammy
drifted off to heaven in sweet slumber.
The rockers stayed on the porch
and continued to rock of a sunset
