We play Red Rockin' Chair regularly at jams, and in this video I'm playing the traditional jam version. There are a lot of versions of this song, and honestly, I love them all. It can be played in different ways; fast, slow, fingerpicked, clawhammer, in minor keys, modal, and major keys, and the song still comes across even though it will sound totally different. This song is sometimes called Sugarbabe, Sugarbaby, Red Apple Juice, and Red Rocking Chair. The lyrics are beautiful poetry and evoke images of a person having trouble with their partner/lover. I love Dock Boggs version of this tune, which was where I first heard it on his 1927 recording, and I'll include a link to that below. Also a recording of a video I made with my band a couple years back.
