Rocking Chair In Hawaii

George Harrison,
Rocking Chair In Hawaii

I'm going down to the river gonna take me my rocking chair
Going down to the river gonna take me my rocking chair
And if those blues don't leave me
Gonna rock on away from here

(The reasons why I love you)

If you want me woman please don't act so shy
If you want me woman please don't pass me by
I love those sideways glances (Yeah)
Your shoulder and your thigh

(The reasons why I love you)
I see inside your eyes, the Baba's Sai
The reasons why I love you

So if you're still busy hiding what it is you've got
If you're frightened of losing what you like a lot
You may be cruising backwards
While thinking that you're not

(The reasons why I love you)
I see into your eyes, the Baba Sais
The reasons why I love you

So if you don't get the picture, you won't know what I feel
If you don't get the picture, then you won't have a depth of field
You may be going some place
Some place you've already been

I like George doing the Jimmie Rodgers thing this way. :)

@Iktofed It's a common blues progression used in many songs by blues musicians like Leadbelly, Big Bill Broonzy etc.. In fact the great Bill Broonzy talks about the process of reworking the same blues pattern to make new songs in his interview with Studs Terkel archived on the Library of Congress. T for Texas is the folk blues song in a more country style. Harrison reworking the song with new lyrics and minor structure changes is no different than what Jimmie Rodgers did with the original blues

@Iktofed was this song ever released on a cd?it sounds like a studio jam session.i never heard this anywhere until now.

Love it! GH is the Greatest! May he rest in peace. He is dearly missed and the world is one hell of a musician poorer. 

[SecretTimeWarp]

Weird that on his last album, he would dig up an All Things Must Pass reject!

@Iktofed

Yeah, it is a bit exactly similar to that song.

But, perhaps that song is in the public domain now.

I hope George's estate doesn't get sued for this. Don't get me wrong, I love this song, but to be fair, this is just Jimmie Rodger's "T for Texas" with different words. Honestly. Look it up.
