I Don't Need No Rocking Chair
(ESP 0187)
Elmer Sheffield, Jr.
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER
Circle left
*I don't need your rocking chair
Your Geritol or your Medicare
Left allemande, turn your partner right
Left allemande and you weave the ring
I do my rocking on a stage
Swing your girl and you promenade
My body's old but it ain't impaired
I don't need no rocking chair
FIGURE
Heads promenade and you go halfway
Walk in and square thru I say
4 hands around, then swing thru, boys run
Couples circulate you do, ladies trade and bend the line
Square thru 3/4 round
Swing the corner and you promenade
I still got neon in my veins
This gray hair don't mean a thing

*Well I ain't ready for the junkyard yet
Cause I still feel like a new Corvette
*Retirement don't fit in my plans
