The Swing Lyrics

(Robert Ellis Orrall/Bob Regan)

 

 In my daddy's yard 

 There's a worn out wooden swing 

 So I asked him once 

 What's the story with that thing 

 He said "That ring of gold, that's on your momma's hand" 

 "Well son this is where it all began " 

 

 This swing hung from the tree 

 Where the girl asked the boy will you play with me 

 And the sun shined bright and the world spun round 

 And they grew up till it all came down 

 From the church where they stood and said "I Do" 

 Where the bells rang out and the love was true 

 And it grew in the hearts of the man and the woman 

 Who lived in the house that love built 

 

 When I'm with the girl 

 That stole my heart away 

 Well I gave that ole' swing 

 A brand new coat of paint 

 And I told the tale as we swung "to and fro" 

 And I said I hope this is how our story goes 

 

 This swing hung from the tree 

 Where the girl asked the boy will you play with me 

 And the sun shined bright and the world spun round 

 And they grew up till it all came down 

 From the church where they stood and said "I Do" 

 Where the bells rang out and the love was true 

 And it grew in the hearts of the man and the woman 

 Who lived in the house that love built
