I am looking for the music or tab to Rocking Chair Jig. It might be titled The Old Rocking Chair Jig, but I am not sure. I was told it is "The Rocking Chair Jig". I have chased links until I am crosseyed. Any help would be grand. Thanks, Dewayne L.

Does it have words to the effect that a long-tail cat is at risk of tail pain if he doesn't get it away from the business end of the rocking chair?

That's probably the one done in a medly with the "Pulling Your Leg Jigg", "The Staggering Jig", and "The Flagging Jig".

There's a great Mills Brothers' tune from the 1930's called "Rockin' Chair Swing", if you ever need an encore!...

Not a jig. More in the ballad/blues genre. Played in minor key and starts with "Ain't got no use for your red rockin' chair.
